He Didn't Want Cheerios

Carter throw's full-blown temper tantrums. He's my first kid to do this. Mom tells me I used to throw myself on the floor when I was little. Still do - sometimes. Poor kid doesn't stand a chance.

Yesterday, I gave him Cheerios. He did not want them. It all started at breakfast. I put Cheerios on his tray. He wanted something else. So, I stuck-to-my-guns and, eventually, he ate some. He has them all the time. Sometimes I mix sugar-cereal with them. This time I didn't and he wanted something sweet.

Late morning, he wanted a snack and I put him in his high-chair with the Cheerios again. He threw-a-fit! The Cheerios landed on the floor. Eventually...so did he. This kid can scream.

He kicks and screams and throws himself all over the place, as evidenced in the following pictures. He even turned around and slid out of his high-chair, all the while, hollering-his-head-off.
