Aw, I have nothing to offer in terms of suggestions (KJP's were great), but I'm sending you a hug, W'sMama! And everyone else, too--:) (Michaela-- the two hour hour subway pee tantrum made me laugh--wow). I post sometimes about DD3 who is uber intense and deafening when she blows. I take comfort from the been there done that posters that it gets better, thanks for sharing. Until then, we'll all be doing a lot of stuffed animal emotional role playing. smile
