I don't know what got into this kid today, but our afternoon/evening was NOT FUN!
Sure, we had a good time walking around in the woods, but that was about it. Otherwise, we had a fussy, irritable, impossible to please monster on our hands. He didn't want milk after his nap, he didn't want a snack, he wanted a snack, but not THAT snack, he didn't want to wear pants to go out in the woods. He wanted to wear sandals to walk in the woods - that is, until he put said sandals on his feet and they were "cutty". ARGH!
Then we had to deal with some sort of possession when it was time to come in to go to dinner. I can't accurately put it into words, but it was very not fun. He was an absolute pisser while we were out to eat and then got angry when we wouldn't let him keep the rock he picked up outside of Red Lobster. We decided to just drive for a while before we got home so that we didn't have to deal with Tantrum Meister at home. He's usually quite fun and easy in the car. Tonight he was an angel in the car. Hallelujah!
We had a wrestling match to get him to take a bath and then he was quiet and calm for books before bed. Thank goodness we established this routine and stick to it so vehemently. It calms him every time. He was lights out and asleep by 9:15 like normal.
I wish I knew how to fix his difficulty with transition. Any tips?
