Yesterday our beautiful little Lanie decided to have a World Class, Grade A Melt Down for about 4 hours. We could not do anything to make her happy. If we said up, she said down, if we said day she said night...you get the picture! She cried over everything and wanted to be with whomever she was not with. She yelled at me, threw things at me and spit at me! This is not my normal Miss Lanie!
She ate her dinner very well so she got a cupcake but ended up feeding it to the dog and wanted more. I, of course, told her no. That sent her into a tail spin-running around the living room, screaming, stomping, throwing toys at me, telling me she would get a cupcake and on and on and on. I put the cupcakes up higher so she could not reach them so she went downstairs and terrorized Papa and grandma for awhile. Nothing helped! We just started passing her back and forth between us. When one had enough we would pass her on to the next person. We finally made her go to bed at 7:00. She was asleep within 15 minutes. She then woke up crying at midnight. I went in her room and she was crying saying, "I'll be good, I want to get up, I'll be good, I won't be bad, I a good girl." I explained to her that it was the middle of the night then took her to bed with me. It took her 2 1/2 hours to go to sleep although she was quiet and laid there nice and still. I dozed off a bit but not much. She finally fell asleep about 2:30 and I put her back in her bed.
Whew! I hope we don't have another night like that for a long, long time!
