Never let it be said that life with a three-year-old is free from the fits witnessed during the "terrible twos." To be perfectly honest, my children really didn't go through the typical "terrible twos." Sure, there were the occasional battles over who was in charge, but they resolved quite quickly (okay, not with Ryan, but he's in a category unto himself, and even at two, he wasn't nearly the challenge that he became at three...). At any rate, in my experience, three has been the age of distinction when it comes to throwing tantrums.
Look at the rage and frustration on Katy's little face, as she throws herself to the floor and kicks in my general direction! Just because I turned the TV off! Okay, so maybe her frustration level was heightened by my laughing at her and taking her picture? But seriously, it was just too funny. Just imagine how difficult it must be to have so much emotion running through such a tiny little body--no wonder they throw fits! But the part that I found really funny was that as soon as I suggested going into the playroom to read a book together, the tantrum stopped. Instantly. The tears magically dried up. The grimace turned into a grin. Talk about mood swings. Hope this isn't a window into what I have in front of me in about 10 years...

Oh now THAT is priceless!! What a picture! Some of the best photos capture moments that aren't cute at the time, don't you think?
Yes, I agree. I love the pictures that show the crying, and angry, and thoughtful, and silly children that I have. Sure, the sweet, smiling pictures are great, but the others--the REAL pictures--are awesome. I can't wait to see what their reactions to these photos will be...
