It Has Happened

Jack is officially not just my sweet, innocent, little baby anymore. He decided out of nowhere to have tantrums today, and he has just been in a funk all day (and last night)! I guess the honeymoon stage is over, and we've just had our first "fight". He looked at me with a furrowed brow today, picked up a toy, deliberately threw it down with a big scowl on his face, and looked at me with a face like, "What are you going to do about it?" I have NEVER seen this out of him! Just sweet smiles before this, when not tired, fussy, or sick. He was mad this morning that I closed the bathroom door, and he screamed out and threw himself down to the ground crying. He did this several times today. This boy has a TEMPER!! I've always known this was there. I remember seeing this even as a newborn, but he's still got the sweetest disposition, too, so we'll see how this all plays out. :)
"I'm growing up, Mom. What are you going to do about it?!"

I always say cuteness should override behavior any day!!! Seriously, neither one of your kids sleep thru the night?? Everyone keeps telling me that mine will next time, but I always say there is no guarantee! The main thing stressing me out about Hollyn is she won't go to sleep until very late. Oh well, I know this phase will pass. It just may take a few YEARS!
