On the way out, Emma and Clara had this conversation.
Emma: "Mom, Justin is my boyfriend. I just love him."
Clara: "Yeah, Mom, it is true, he is Emma's boyfriend."
Mommy: "Justin- are you Emma's boyfriend?"
Justin: "Yes, I told her I love her at lunch."
Clara: "Justin, can I be your boyfriend too?"
Justin: "Yep."
Clara is exhasted and when she cries, it is hard not to laugh, but it does break your heart.
She says things like "Mommy, Mommy. Listen (using her two hands as if to stop someone). Listen to me. Your not listening to me. I want to tell you what I want and I want you to let me do it. That is why Im not happy. You aren't letting me do what I want. That is why I am crying. I won't cry if you let me do what I want."
The tantrum dance worked with Emma tonite and another piece was added. It now has several parts- stomp, stomp, flap, flap, clap, clap, march, march, jump, jump, run around, angry face. They both like to add parts and it gets them off the crying, whining etc. and it is kind of fun for all.
