Major Meltdowns

Lately I have been recognizing that Owen doesn't like to be told no. A lot of time it's just me and Owen and it's easy for us to get along. But recently there have been a few times where I have had to tell him no and it's led to a few shall I say....meltdowns!

Check out the most recent one!

I had to take Kate to see her endocrinologist and we have to park in a parking garage, get a ticket, have it validated in the clinic, and then hand it back to the guy at the exit gate. Well Owen wanted to hand the guy the ticket but his window in the van doesn't roll down. So while I was trying to explain this to him, he lost his composure! Big Time!!!

He started out kicking the door!

Then after various threats he took to hiding his face and howling!

For a few mins he calmed down and just whimpered while making sure to hide his face from Kate!

And then went right back to yelling!
The really impressive thing was the sheer time span of the tantrum! It went on for a solid 15 minutes. By the end he couldn't remember why he was so sad! It was definitely the biggest fit he's thrown to date. I think he was just really tired (it had been a busy weekend followed by an early morning) but still, I was a little shocked! I didn't know he had it in him!
