Well, it's official... our almost two-year-old knows how to get hysterical! We were all at a restaurant celebrating the birthday of one of the new dads tonight and something set Joshua off. Food seems to get him a bit uptight. He was also very tired. Anyway he got mad about something, and it all went downhill from there for about 10 minutes. We were struggling to figure out what set him off, and what might bring him back from his fit. Eventually we distracted him with fruit snacks.... throw a fit, get fruit snacks!! We're in a period of time where we know he's still on system overload, and for the most part, he's been a very happy, easy boy, so when the fits come we don't feel like we can correct them with discipline yet. Grace is having to abound here right now!
Of course we don't have a picture to put with this post.... not something to run get your camera for. The other parents were just looking at us with understanding and empathy!

Hannah is going to have to teach him her line, "Ya get what you get and you don't throw a fit!"
Grandma, again:
But hey, if we'd had the mealtime experiences we know he has had in this short life, we'd be edgy at meal time too!
With all the changes lately and given his anatomy... I'd say a 10 minute fit over mealtime is pretty darn good! BTW, we have found that fruit snacks are excellent on airplanes... especially for little boys who might possibly have ear infections?
