A Royal Melt-down

Adam will be 3 next month. I have always heard of the "terrible twos" and have thought that maybe we just got really lucky because Adam has never been terrible - that is until tonight. Now I know that he doesn't feel good because he has a cold, and he didn't get a nap - so I know that is probably why we had a melt-down this evening. Oh my goodness. I have never heard or seen him act out the way he did tonight. He was hitting, talking back, and flailing all around.

It started at Lowes. We tried to look at carpet. He was good at first until we had to leave. He was pretty much on the ground in the parking lot screaming that he didn't want to leave. Then we got home. Things calmed down for a little bit. Then I wanted to put his Halloween costume on him so I could see where I needed to pin it. That was the worst decision I made all night, in fact it could possibly be the worst decision I have made this year. He did not want to take it off. Screaming and crying I had to peel it off of him. Let me just say that I have never felt so frustrated in my entire life. I had to tell Jeff that if I EVER say that I want more kids after this next one - that he is supposed to remind me of this night. I can't even re-live tonight anymore. I can feel my blood pressure rising just typing this. So, hopefully tomorrow will be a better night. If it isn't - I might be admitting myself into the Psych ward at the hospital tomorrow.

I hope everyone else is doing well and that there have been no major melt-downs in your life.

Happy Halloween!
