She went to bed until I calmed down. Last temper tantrum...
Crying yet again when it comes to stories of your kids! I thought #3 was supposed to be laid back and easy going!
The third one is always the craftiest. Mine is a convincing cryer until someone else is in trouble and then he's all smiles and rainbows.
