3.5yr old DS - very intelligent, very full on and always been a more 'intense' child - love him to pieces but so far today (and this is just a really small handful of the episodes):
Half hour shouting because he wanted to go swimming but his shorts weren't 'red' enough - we then went and had a lovely time swimming - afterwhich he decided the dog needed a swimming pool and attempted to flood the bathroom.
After enjoying art - 20mins screaming that clay wouldn't dry instantly - he then covered himself in paint (I literally was just taking things to the sink - the child moves at super speed!!!)
After playing a board game - 20 minutes screaming that he didn't win - then a further tantrum that his brother no longer wanted to play with him.
In addition, Mash potatoes wasn't 'mashy' enough, the dog wouldn't bark on command and I insisted he wore his socks when we were going out...
And topped off with a half hour strop that I couldn't fulfill the wish of buying him a 'real life, flying unicorn' as a pet.....
And it's not even bedtime yet!!!
This is said light-heartedly and though he is full on 99% of the time, the tantrums are normally more associated with growth spurts etc - but my goodness I need wine! Anyone else?
