Tantrums R Us

Awww yes... we have entered Tantrum land now that the girls are 18m old. Actually Lily isn't too bad.. mostly will get overly upset when I try to leave her or go out of her sight. It's Anna that is having the full blown tantrums. I swear in the last week or so we have hardly gone a full day without her having a tantrum for what seems like no reason at all. It's such a joy to go through. I can hardly wait till she can actually tell us why she is upset. Till then we will do our best to get through the food flings and the full body throwdowns that she does. They are hard for me to ignore (ped's advice) and make me feel like the world's worst mom ever at times. Eventually my smiley happy girl returns but I never really know when she's going to have a tantrum. I hope that this is just a phase...
