Temper, Temper!



Yes, every parent, no matter how 'happy' and 'good' their kids may appear to be in public, has those moments and meltdowns (some of those meltdowns are the kids'...some are our own!). As I looked back through my photos this weekend to find some funny meltdown moments, I noticed an uneven ratio of crying kids. Can you guess who won?

Yes - the drama Queen Sarah won, hands down. Most of the crying photos I found of Jacob were those in fear (i.e. loud noises, Santa Claus, etc). Many of the crying photos I saw of Sarah...were due to attitude or not getting her way....

The evidence:

Sarah, approx 8 months
not wanting to feed herself

Sarah, approx 12 months
not wanting to share the toy

Sarah, approx 18 months
In Time Out

Sarah, approx 20 months
not wanting to share the Swiffer
(yes, they were fighting over the Swiffer sweeper!)

Honestly, this is the only one I found of Jacob and this was taken relatively recently. He wanted candy and didn't want to finish his dinner. I know...I'm a mean Mommy!

Don't I look pathetic enough for candy?

And this one...I couldn't leave Adam out. This, too, is an extremely rare moment for my happy baby boy. I took this photo only because of the irony of his clothing...that and being tired are the only two reasons the boy cries...


Stop taking pictures and feed me, Woman!

Stop by Who Says 8 is Enough? to play along with Baby Picture Sunday!

That is just too cute! Babies/Toddlers are just so funny when they get upset about the wierdest thing!! Stopping in from BPS!

I think girls are just by nature more dramatic. Ella cries a lot over the silliest things now.

Ok its hard to believe that last one is Adam. He has been so so happy every time we have seen him.

These photos are so funny, only because they remind me so much of my girls having temper tantrums!

I didn't have many tantrum photos as I rarely think to grab the camera during those times, but I did find a couple.

Thanks so much for playing along this week.

Oh gosh, these are cute - I had none to share - can not believe it. Not because mine do not cry or tantrum, just because, well, I don't photograph it.
