Morning Meltdowns

Is October to early to start threatening Carson with Santa Clause??

This morning, within the first 20 minutes of Carson getting out of bed, we encountered 4 meltdowns! Yes, the crying, screaming, flailing arms, kicking, door slamming kind. Over what you ask?? Well, let's see... Daddy wouldn't carry him downstairs, Daddy would only give him ONE, not TWO, cookies for breakfast, he spilled chocolate milk on his orange blankie and I wouldn't let him flush the toilet. Wow!! Rough morning.

So, I went there. Yes, in the middle of October, I went there!! "Santa Clause is coming and he only brings presents to GOOD little boys. If you are not GOOD, he is not going to bring you any presents." And it totally worked!! Instant crying stops now at the mention of Santa Clause. "I'm good boy Mommy. Is Santa going to bring me trains??"

In the meantime, Carson is waiting by the fireplace looking for Santa Clause... in October!!

October is not to early. Except that he might ask about Santa for the next 2 months now and drive you crazy! Lol
