Took 2 year old DD on a trip to IKEA this morning. She was very well behaved and enjoyed sitting in the trolley and then getting a little ice cream afterwards. I think she enjoyed spending some time with me alone, as we left her new little brother (2 months old) at home with DH.
All going swimmingly until we get home, park on the front drive and she refuses to get out of her car seat. After much cajoling, negotiation and hell, even bribery, she was still refusing. I ended up lifting her out of the car and carrying her indoors screaming. That was 50 minutes ago and it continues. Not just a whinge but full on, force ten screaming. I am not sure where she gets the energy. Have tried everything I can think of to get her to stop. Have now retreated upstairs and DH is trying to calm her down.
Does anyone else have a toddler with similar screaming stamina and if so, how do you stop it? It's like once she gets started she doesn't know how to stop!
