A Grumpy Gus

Today miss CJ was up bright and early again, maybe a little too early!!  Lately, she has been throwing temper tantrums, like, a lot!!  If this is her at One, I'm sooo not looking forward to the "Terrible Two's".  With her Mommy's temper and her Daddy's determination she can be one mad kid sometimes.  This morning, I'm not sure what she was upset about.  It's hard when she's upset, and you can't help, or calm her.  She just throws a fit for a few minutes, and then she's better.  I'm still not entirely sure how to deal with it, except distracting her with other things, and if that doesn't work, I usually let her work through it herself.  It's no fun though :( What a mean mum I am, taking pictures of my sad little girl. It was cute though, have to have at least one shot of her upset for the book. ;) She would not reason this morning....soo, I got the camera out.

The poor girl though.  She gets to frustrated when she can't get what she wants, or express herself and her desires. We try our best to understand her and keep her happy though. After a short episode this morning, she eventually worked through it and I got my smiley girl back again.  What a day already and it's only 9:00am.  I have already changed 3 diapers (2 of them being very dirty), sent Mr. Stannix off to work with a hug and a kiss, put through a load of laundry, put the dishes away from yesterday, and prepped the kitchen for another round of dishes.  Camilla started rubbing her eyes at around 8:30 this morning, so I put her down for a snooze.  Hopefully she'll wake up in better spirits...or this could be a very long day.  Before Mr. Stannix left today he asked if I would be okay.  I half jokingly replied "no". He chuckled and said "well, at least your honest!!".  I will be okay though.  We will just keep busy and play lots today, and hopefully avoid the fits. HaHa

After rubbing her back and feet for a few minutes, I finally got my happy girl back, just the way I like her.
