Toddler Emotions

Nothing tries my patience like tears. And Kiera has become the waterworks princess.

She turns starts to cry when I say no, she starts to cry when I say yes to sissy, she starts to cry when I get irritated that she's already crying, she starts to cry when she has to pick up something or put something away, she starts to cry when I want her to finish her meal, she starts to cry when I say no more tea/juice, only water. She starts to cry when it's time for bed, she starts to cry when she's tired by 10 am, she starts to cry because she's tired and all of the sudden misses Ezri. (Rose and Cocoa? Not a word.) She starts to cry when she has a wet pull-up or an accident, she starts to cry because she's driving sissy crazy and sissy wants to play by herself, she starts to cry when I say we're staying home today, she starts to cry when her friends aren't home... Get the idea?

Oh yeah, and those new rules I was talking about? Now, she starts to cry when a timer goes off. *sigh*
Patience, Lord. Please grant me lots and lots of patience.

(Then again, you know what they say about praying for patience.... ;-)

"stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about." is the first thing that comes to mind :0)

Good luck!

Sounds just like Makaila!!!

Among the many, I really hate her crying when her and Karston were playing outside and he came inside to pee or ask for a snack and she's mad because he wouldn't wait for her to go inside with him or because he wouldn't stay outside with him.
