From Sweet Baby to Tantrum Throwing Toddler

. . . and all in just one day! I remember at Isabella's one year checkup, the pediatrician said babies start throwing tantrums right around one year. It was hard to even imagine my sweet baby doing something like that. Well imagine no more, Angela, today was the lucky day! We spent the majority of the day outside, having a great ol' time, and a certain someone was having so much fun that when it was supper time she decided she was NOT going to go inside. This was her first time of really, deliberately being naughty. And to be honest, I'm emotionally drained right now. Of course in my brain (which tends to completely overreact and which I claim to have no control over all the overreacting) I'm thinking Oh my gosh, she threw a tantrum, what now, we have to get this under control NOW, I don't want her to be an out of control girl, that turns into an out of control teenager, blah, blah, blah). I know - like I said, I overreact, I am aware and thank goodness I have Monte to keep me grounded! I talked to my mom about it, and she said we shouldn't have punished her, that she is too little, and that we just need to redirect her because she's at an age where you can very easily distract her. We will try that next time (hopefully there won't be too many next times). Also, I think I better start reading this book that has been in my "need to read" pile for quite some time. Anyone else have any good advice?
