Meltdown!

Well it's been forever since I've posted something.

We've been busy, and when we are not busy, we are resting.

That's my excuse! =)

Caden just turned 18 months on the 1st. At his 12 month check up they told us that the "terrible two" are beginning and to watch out! Terrible two? No, not my sweet Caden. He's too sweet and laid back for that. And besides, I thought they started when they were two, not on their way to two.

OK, so within the last month or two, Caden has begun to have these "meltdowns". They can happen anytime, day or night. Sleepy, or well rested. At home or in public. With family, or with people at church! It's just when he doesn't get his way. (But mainly when he wants to be outside.)

Today we went outside for just a few minutes to get some fresh air, and let him play. By the way he LOVES outside. So I keep him on the front porch so he can stay out of the sun, and so I don't have to chase him all over Dahlonega-because, he will go.....and go.....and go......if you know what I mean. Back to my meltdown. Well his meltdown.

He filled his pants and I smelled it. I asked him if he had pooped and he shook his head "No". Which is a different story. Usually when he poops he lets me know and runs to his room, but because we were outside and we had to go inside to change he didn't want to go. So because he was dirty, I insisted we go inside to his room to change his diaper. So here is where the "meltdown" begins, the bottom lips curls down and the big crocodile tears come!! Then when he realized, he HAD to get his diaper changed, he calmed down and let me change his diaper and then we went back outside.

This made me think. Why do we do this? We even do this to God. We scream, cry and want our way when God, just wants us to do what he knows is best for us. I find myself, not screaming, but sometimes, not wanting to do what God is wanting me to do. It might alter what I have in mind to do. But it's best for me! And he's in charge! No matter how big or how small.
