We’re happy to report that Eli is definitely enjoying his new school. He’s had three complete days there, seems to be napping well, and best of all, doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up. We haven’t noticed him speaking too much Spanish yet, but he does do one awesome thing: he calls the place “hola school.” As in, “I wanna go hola school.” A. Dorable.
In less adorable news, once he turned two, he pretty much got on the train to tantrum town. He doesn’t do a lot of screaming and kicking (sometimes, though), but he gets upset, cannot be appeased, and just repeats “I want it” over and over. “I want it. I WANT IT. I want IT.” He can’t ever answer us when he ask him exactly what he wants, so I’ve decided this particular usage can only be translated as, “I want … satisfaction.” Little does he know he can’t get none.

Have you played him the Stones’ song? That might be a good way of handling it – have him dance to the song whenever he throws a fit. Distraction during tantrums is key!
