wow. parker is going through a really tough stage right now and i'm not sure why. there have been more tantrums, more tears, more whining in the last weeks than in her entire life before. and she's no rookie. she'll lay down on the floor and kick and scream with the best of them. i try to just keep my cool and wait for it to pass. but then, on days like today (when it took me over an hour to put her down for her nap) i feel ready to rip my hair out. thank goodness for naptime when we can both recharge.
