What a Diva!

Diva or temperamental 3-1/2 year old? The two are probably synonymous! Tyler’s tantrums had seemed to get better but lately he has been temperamental again. He hasn’t really been wanting to nap (even though we think he needs it) so the last few days we haven’t pushed the issue. However, the last two days Tyler has had a meltdown around 4 pm. On Friday he fell asleep while getting a consoling hug from me and then yesterday he fell asleep while crying mid-tantrum on the floor.

Tantrum-induced nap

The diva showed his demanding side yesterday when we were getting family portraits taken. Tyler was sulking because Michael and I got to sit on stools (sized for adults) with the kids on our lap. Then when the photographer broke out a cute little bench for Tyler and Daphne to do a sibling pose, Tyler refused to sit on the bench and kept whining about how he wanted to sit on a stool. The photographer kindly obliged and Michael held Daphne next to Tyler; however, I think the photos would have turned out better on the bench!
