In an attempt to capture my day to day life in my home I have gathered some memories here on "Life in the Craig house" Some of it is me praising God, some of it is me venting, some of it is boring ordinary stuff that seemed important at the time, most of it is funny, and all of it is from the heart. Thanks for checking in and seeing how I am doing on my journey of stay at home mom.

Tantrums
Oh how my youngest daughter has perfected her art. The last few days with Miss Addison Marie have been quite a challenge. She goes from sweet smiling to full blown fist swinging, leg kicking tantrum in .8 seconds. Tuesday mom came over to eat with us and she started in. I ended up putting her to bed and she removed her diaper. I put diaper back on with the assistance of a little duck tape. She removed duck tape and wrapped it very tightly around the rail of her bed and was dancing around naked with two halves of a plastic Easter eggs strategically placed over her nipples. Oh how cute! (please don't forget the sarcastic tone) I then tapped her little bottom, put yet another diaper on her, duck taped it, and placed her in a zip up sleeper with arms and legs cut out backwards so she couldn't get out. Boy this really ticked her off! She screamed for an hour and a half solid. Mom and I took the other kids outside and played a bit and let her scream it out (or I was going to myself). Any advice here? This is happening daily now.

Wow! Sounds like she knows how to push your buttons, Momma! Mine do it plenty too. I don't have any words of wisdom, but I'll keep you guys in my prayers and hope it all gets worked out soon!
Umm, think she's strong-willed, just a wee bit??? :)
My mom and dad swear by the book The Strong-Willed Child by Dr. Dobson. My mom says it was kind of like her guidebook while raising me. I'll see if she still has her copy.
