Possible SPD?

Not everything is SPD.

Most things aren't, as a matter of fact. PP, chill out a little mmmkay?

On the way home from the doctor DD (2) started sobbing that she lost her sticker. Went to get her out of the car when we get home, she's already asking me to help her find it, and I open her door. It's on her forehead. She's on the verge of tears again and I just burst out laughing, which makes her very mad and she yells "not funny mommy! sticker!!!!"

I had a meltdown a few days ago because I literally COULD NOT get the new electric can opener to work. My DH bought it thinking it would be easier, but I cannot figure it out, no matter how many times I try. I literally started crying and laughing at the same time because the whole situation was so ridiculous. DH finally bought me another manual can opener -- thank God!

My 3.5 year old had a fit because we were going to get milkshakes and he didn't want one. He normally loves them so I thought it would be a treat. Honestly, I wanted a milkshake and didn't care if he had one or not. After 10 minutes of crying that he didn't want one, he proceeded to drink most of mine.

On our way home from the park, DD lost the pea-sized ball of shredded tissue she made there. Insisted that it was somewhere on the driveway, and she needed a flashlight to find it.

Lo and behold, DH found it under the car. He SWEARS that it was the original ball, and not a sneaky nub of TP from the basement bathroom.

DS had a tantrum this morning because I would not make him chocolate chip pancakes.

Then I told him there were 2 left in the other box I put on the counter for him. "But that is only 2 and half cookies! I wanted 3."

I think he was over tired and had a rough day. No cookies was just the last straw.

I can totally relate. I can't end the day without having a cookie either. Poor kid

Actually maybe SPD, but DD (3) totally loses her shit when she sees swing sets in motion (still are okay). Freaks out and tantrums until we move away.

I asked her why and she said it's "because they HURT MY FEELINGS!" So yeah, hard not to find that a little hilarious.

Why did you take my son out for milkshakes? Screaming that he doesn't want something and then eating mine is tops on his to do list.

Oh yes, mine (2 and 4) have done this. Cutting or not cutting a muffin, banana breaking in half when peeled, grapes off the stem or on. End of the world when it's not right!

Yup. Granola bar breaks coming out of the wrapper? Ruined. String cheese not peeled/peeled halfway/unwrapped partially/unwrapped completely (depends on the say) - world ends.

I didn't realize we have extended the definition of toddler to age 8.

DD (2 1/2) wanted a corn dog for dinner, but she wanted it to be blue and got mad when it wasn't. I stuck some blueberries on top of it and that solved everything. Can't wait for my next culinary challenge.

Does anyone else hate the toddler stage as much as I do? I realize they are still babies, but they look old enough that meltdowns over the wrong color candy wrapper or the broken cheese stick or the wrong color cup make me want to lose my mind.

Not a tantrum but the other night my 20 month old fell down backwards and sobbed "my tail! my tail!" She was so sad but I had to laugh.
