According to a post on Pinterest this is an adolescent elephant having an emotional moment or in other words a tantrum. It made me laugh more than I think it should have. Lately Daisy has been a lot like this elephant, in the throws of a temper tantrum. I know I have mentioned her temper on my blog before. Since she hit toddlerhood she has been throwing tantrums so its nothing new at our house, but lately she has amped it up. We will go weeks with multiple meltdowns that last what seem like hours. Or maybe its just one big tantrum that is ongoing and shows itself every half hour. I am complaining here and I hope it doesn't sound like I don't love her because I most certainly do but, man she can sure throw a tantrum. I have been reading lots of parenting tips and advice about two year old tantrums. So far no help. There are the earthy moms out there where I once read a blog post about her poor daughter throwing a tantrum for twenty minutes... I laughed out loud. Try 4 hours of vein popping screaming, throwing toys, hitting walls and me. Then there are the moms who are like just reason with your child. You can't reason with a two year old. I know that this is a phase kids go through and its a part of learning how to handle big emotions. I know that the worst of this will pass with her growing up a little. I am mostly ranting here, I am just at a loss as how to handle these explosions. I have done what I think is everything I know how to do. I guess it is what it is. And some day maybe she will read this when she has a two year old and I will just laugh and laugh because I know...
