The wrong blanket?
How could you?

When Ella went through this stage she spent a lot of time isolated in a room.

I explained to her that it's not fair to scream and cry and disturb our family, so she would have to be removed until she calmed down.

When our kids do this we like to quote from Willy Wonka the movie... "What is this? A freak out!?" Then we let them have their freak out alone, in their room.

Yeah, Noah goes in his crib when he does this. I thought the camera might distract him out of it but it just made it worse.

Hey Em, so I think your reunion was a week or two earlier then mine, July 31 and Aug 1 (day Breaking Dawn came out, heh heh). Too bad they weren't on the same weekend, we might have run into each other!! It was awesome to see Rachel since I haven't talked to her in more than 10 yrs!

As for the terrible two's, all I can say is, yikes...I don't have kids and that scares me! haha But I do remember when my little brothers were two very vividly and putting them in their room to scream on their own was pretty effective, but hard to do cause you have to deal with listening to them cry...it's good for them though. :) but like I said no kids yet so I haven't experienced it with one of my own offspring!

My mother-in-law says to check out the website www.parentingpower.com. She says the ladies on there are always on some morning show she watches and they have really great ideas for the terrible two's. good luck!

I think alone time is the best thing too. I always take Cam to his room and close the door until he calms down...
so sorry for your frustrations!
