Tantrums

The boy threw a big tantrum at 5am the day before yesterday. I thought he was done with his milk feed and when he started scratching the wife, I decided to rock him to sleep.

He screamed nonstop for a minute, rather screeched.

Didn't want me to touch him - when I lifted him he arched himself way backwards that I was forced him to put him back on the bed.

The wife woke up, took him in her arms and he was all smiles. Put him on the bed and she went to sleep. The boy decided it was time to play. First he was on his knees, sitting, bobbed up and down on his butt and dived forward. Next it was pulling on the head board to a standing position, followed by playing with my Aerocort Inhaler. He again pulled himself to stand and threw the Inhaler on the other side after dismantling it. Somewhere in the middle of all this, I feel asleep and when I got up, the boy was sleeping.

Two series of tantrums last night with nonstop screaming. He quieted down when he started suckling.

He has been resorting to screaming frequently when he does not get what he wants.
