Extremes

Mallory had an awesome soccer game on Saturday. She scored a hat trick - three goals in quick succession. She did great.

However, the day ended on a down note when she erupted into a screaming fit in the pool later that afternoon. Liam did not want to play what she wanted to play, and she lost it. We removed her from the pool, towelled her off, and sent her to her room. She continued to scream so she was in her room for the rest of the night. I would say this is by far the worst tantrum she's ever thrown. We never went through a really awful terrible 2's stage, but now I have so much more empathy for parents struggling through their kids' fits! First hand experience will do that to you, I guess.

She had a looooong sleep, and seems much better today. Last week was tiring; both the kids started day camp at the YMCA, so it was a total change of schedule for the whole family. Here's hoping this week does not end so badly, because camp week #2 starts tomorrow.
