What on earth am I supposed to do?! Today I found myself terrified to be having a second child! I don't even know what to do with the first one! My 13 month old daughter is at an....interesting stage in her life. Temper tantrums are many and often, she can speak, yet decides to just whine and start crying for everything! What happened to my little angel!? I mean, she was always a very active and very dramatic little girl, but it's over the top now! I find myself becoming short tempered and easily irritable. I love my little girl and want to do what I can to keep her happy and help her to progress and become all she can be. (And with me using slogans like that she'll soon be in the army!) I don't know what she needs, or what I should be doing with her. Should I be playing with her more? Should I be exposing her to more kids? Should I put her in a zoo!? Lately I've been so exhausted with the pregnancy that I quickly run out of energy while she's like the energizer bunny! She is such a sweet girl, always giving me hugs and kisses, but then the next second she's rolling around on the floor throwing a temper tantrum without me even having to say "no" about anything! I've been putting her down for naps frequently because usually that's the only time she's this wild and uncontrollable, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong and exiling her to her room! I mean she's much happier when she wakes up, but not to long after, she's throwing tantrums again! I know that lately I've been so stuck on finishing my long overdue wedding scrapbook, but while I'm doing that if she needs me, I'm willing to stop what I'm doing and play. Do all moms feel this way or am I just "lucky"? I am hoping a trip to the park will help this afternoon, but I don't know what to do! I'm living in Mommy Mayhem, and there must be a way out!
