Tear it up

All parents will recognize the stage we are entering.  Joy will suddenly throw a tantrum and burst into tears.  It can be when she is frustrated by not being able to do something, not getting her way, or sometimes it appears just because.  It is hard to find out what is wrong because in the midst of crying will not answer.

I wonder where she got that from?

Oh yeah.  Probably me.  I see the frustration I exhibit when things do not go my way.

I will have to recognize that I have people watching.  Sometimes my first instinct is not the greatest.  I have to remember, just as we tell Joy, "Calm down and tell us what you want."
