Stef has been having major meltdown bloody fits lately. The omnicef didn't fly this morning. My fragrance dujour is Cherry omnicef. I tasted the stuff. It's GOOD! I have one last hope in fooling her. I put red food coloring in it to make it pink like Amoxicillan and I'll give it to her upstairs rather than downstairs. If that doesn't work, I'm asking for a pill form that I can shove down her throat like I do with Ellie's pills twice a day every day.
Last night's bloody fit was horrible. It started after her teeth were brushed. I gave her a little water in a cup to rinse, just like always. She put the pouty face on and put her chin down on the edge of the sink. I waited about 20 seconds and asked if she was going to rinse. She gently backhanded the cup into the sink. Fine, no rinsing, let's go to bed. As soon as her door was shut the crying/screaming began. "I want it! I want it!!" I told her too bad, she had her chance to rinse. After about 20 minutes of solid bloody fit, she started to calm down and quietly said "I want it" so we went back to the bathroom only to repeat the earlier scene. "That's it. You're done. Bed" And so the screaming/crying started again. I was headbutted in the mouth and that little noggin is HARD! I basically just had to hold her until she exhausted herself and finally fell asleep.
I'm re-reading 1-2-3 Magic, but I better start reading MUCH faster.

DO I FEEL YOUR PAIN! I have had that headbutt more than once and had a couple of fat lips to prove it! Sometimes I swear if they weren't so darn cute....
OH - and I am sorry Maura taught Maura the "I don't want it/I want it" deal.
We gotta start being tougher about keeping these girls off the computer - they teach each other too much stuff to tourcher their parents.
Ditto here with feeling your pain! Ian is quite the monster lately. It has to be the terrible 2's. If I say "no" to anything he is headed straight for temper tantrum city! I got the headbutt a couple of days ago and still have the fat. He was sitting on my lap and threw himself backwards when I told him he couldn't have ice cream for breakfast.
One of my most recent favorites is when Ella had a meltdown because we wouldn't let her take the slug she found at Grammy and Pa's home with us.
Ooooh, I've heard that book is good!
Hey, do you use regular toothpaste for Stef now or still the baby stuff? I recently started just using a tiny amount of regular on Emma. We have a well and thus no fluride (sp?) in our water. I'm wondering if I should ask her ped for some drops. Anyway, she does pretty well with the spitting and rinsing.
And what's with the "bloody"? Are you suddenly British??? lmao
Ahhh head butts yep, I've been receiving some of those lately as well ! I need to get on this teeth thing that's for sure, I am too slack on it. We're still waiting on 6 regular ones, let alone molars, maybe that's why Im' a slacker. Hope she mellows out a little more for ya , butttttttttttttt since I have a drama queen myself I aint' holding our hands over our ya know whats ha :)
