Fits are No Fun!

I've always heard people talk about the terrible two's and three's but they failed to mention the terrible twenty month old's. Here lately Annie has decided that she likes to throw fits. No matter where you are or who is watching. This is SO wonderful for the parents of the precious looking little girl. The best fits are the ones thrown in public. We went out to eat at Kabuto (a yummy Japanese Hibachi grill) on Saturday and sweet, adorable little Annie decided she did not want to sit in her high chair. For the sake of those sitting at the table with us, we glady took her out and let her sit in our lap. This was not pleasing to her either and she began fussing and hurling her body in all sorts of directions. We had tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING to calm her down. We pulled out every snack, every toy, her paci and nothing worked. I finally resorted to the teething tablets. Annie loves those things and she would eat them like candy if I let her. They are just little herbal tablets that help calm them down when they are teething. Luckily, there were four or five in the bottle and she gobbled them all up. Then, she enjoyed playing with the empty bottle for the rest of our meal! She would take a bite, dip the bottle into her sauce, lick the sauce, take another bite, etc. Needless to say, it was an unforgettable dining experience! We've talked to some other parents of children the same age and they all have similar stories so, at least we are not alone! I'm already praying for patience for the teenage years! :)
