Tantrums

We experienced our first real tantrum the other day. Daddy was sleeping, but I had to go in our room to get clothes to go out with Clara. She followed me in, and started exploring a little. I told her we had to be quiet, and she complied by putting her finger up to her nose and lips (more her nose than lips) like Mommy did, saying "shhh". She was doing fine, so as I got dressed, she moved around to my desk. She saw the keyboard. No problem. She pressed the Ctrl key, which can't hurt anything, and it woke up the monitor which had her picture on it, so she was happy. But as soon as I was done and wanted to leave, she didn't want to stop pushing the Ctrl key. I stood at the door and said come on, a few times, not wanting to be loud about it and wake up Dad. She wasn't moving. She had her hand on the keyboard and she was looking over her shoulder at me, in blatant defiance. So I started counting, which usually gets her attention. "1...... (nothing) 2..... (takes hand off keyboard and turns to me)....... good gir-- (she turns back to the keyboard and starts BANGING!!)" So I pick her up and remove her from the room. INSTANT fit throwing!! She turns bright red, starts screaming and kicking, then bawling. It was amazing. I placed her in front of her own "keyboard", but that makes her angrier. So in trying to keep everything calm and quiet for Daddy to sleep, I instead created the biggest commotion I possibly could have. Wow.
