Temper tantrum

Graesen has been mastering the art of temper tantrums lately.  He totally freaks out whenever I make him stop doing something "naughty" that he really wants to do.  He also screams almost every time I put him in his car seat, because he wants to get up in the front seat to "drive."  Today he threw a temper tantrum when we left the babysitter's house.  He was having so much fun playing outside with her son.  I am very glad he is so happy there, even if it does mean a tantrum when it is time to load him up in the car.

This afternoon I was popping some popcorn (I usually put a small ziplock of either corn chips or popcorn in my work bag for part of my lunch), and I gave Graesen a small container with a little popcorn.  He took it, but then went rummaging through the cupboards.  He found our big "popcorn bowl" we use when we are making a large homemade batch for all of us to share.  He poured his popcorn in their, pulled it up on the couch, and sat down to enjoy his snack.  It made me laugh.
