Two times today Jonas had freak-out sessions over the smallest things. For example, earlier today, he wanted me to sit on the couch, so I did. But then he had a freak out because I was sitting in the spot that he was. And even though I moved, he threw a tantrum and just cried for 10-15 minutes. It was so frustrating! And he wouldn't let me help him or comfort him. He just cried and I had to leave the room so I didn't get too frustrated. Then he was fine after his little tantrum.
Next, after his nap he was talking in his room, so I went to get him (sometimes he waits till I get him to get out of his bed, even though he can clearly get out himself). Well, I went in there, took off his blankets to help him out, and he started to freak out again. He just laid there in bed kicking his legs, whining, crying and screaming. He wouldn't tell me what's wrong, so I put his blankets back on him, but then that made him more angry. I took them off and left the room again for about 10 minutes until I came back in and he finally told me that he wanted his blanket on him. What?! I already did that and he screamed at me. Sometimes he can be so emotional.
I took pictures of him throwing a tantrum in his bed. It's the only thing he would let me do. Ha ha! I don't think he realized I as taking pics. He was too busy whining.
Therefore, it's days like today that I get nervous to have two kids. What if I'm feeding Alexis and he has one of these tantrum and is crying the whole time, or wants me and I can't get to him right away? I know, I just let him cry and he'll deal with it and get used to it, but still....I'm pretty sure every mom feels this way when their second is approaching.
Hopefully it's a stage he's going through, right?
