Our home was tantrum central this morning.
All because I wanted to change Brie's dirty diaper.
It was a 10 minute struggle, but I was finally able to change the diaper. But the end of the diaper change didn't mean the end of the tantrum this morning. She continued to flail and fling herself around for about 5 minutes and I was worried that she was going to hurt herself on the toys and chairs around the front room.
So I put her in her crib and left her screaming.
Then I heard a thud.
There was no break in screaming but it sounded louder than her bottle being thrown out so I went and checked.
And, yep, she had thrown herself out the crib and was still hysterically crying and wouldn't let me hold her. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt. (note to self: see if mattress can go any lower.)
The only thing that finally calmed her down was to go outside in the less than 10 degree weather and watch the ducks and the bald eagle that had flown in to fish. From start to finish that was a 30 minute screaming/flailing tantrum!
I'm exhausted and I'm not so certain changing her diaper was worth it.
