Mommy had to work today so I spent the morning with Daddy. We played with cars (small ones), rode my Mercedes, and practiced driving (in the big car). We also chatted with Nana and Papa while practicing driving.
Daddy suggested that we go meet up with Mommy in the city and have lunch together and I loved that idea. I said that I wanted to ride the bus, so we hurried to the bus stop and caught a bus to get to Mommy’s work place. It was a very fun bus ride.
We met up with Mommy and I was so happy to see her. Then we went to get some lunch. We found a nice ramen shop, but had to wait a bit to be seated. Once we got our food I wolfed it down. It was a really nice lunch. Until my tantrum.
For the strangest reason I chose to throw a tantrum in the ramen shop after we finished eating. Daddy went to the restroom and I got upset and claimed that I wanted to go first. When he came out and said that I could go I got more upset because I wanted to go first. Of course there was no way to turn back time and undo Daddy going to the restroom but I wouldn’t listen to reason and got really upset. I practically had to be dragged out of the ramen shop.
Outside the ramen shop I wouldn’t stop and tried to go back in to somehow be the first one to go to the restroom. Daddy got very upset, especially since after the tantrum I threw yesterday I promised that I would be better and not be so selfish about little things. I showed no signs of calming down and we were in the middle of a shopping arcade, so Daddy literally picked me up and marched me away toward the subway. People were looking at us and probably wondering what I was screaming about, but Daddy just had to get me out of there. We got to the subway and I started to calm down a bit, but Daddy was very angry with me. Mommy talked to me but I still couldn’t explain what I expected and why I threw a tantrum.
I calmed down enough to ride the subway home, but Daddy was not talking to me. After all that he did to go out of his way just to make me happy, I decide to make everyone sad and angry over something silly like who got to go to the restroom first.
We got home and I was pretty much left to myself since I had upset my playmate. Things were okay for a while. But then Daddy had to go grocery shopping. I wanted to go with Daddy but he said no. I got upset again and then threw another temper tantrum. I tried to force my way into the car but Daddy put me back in the house and locked the door. Mommy locked the door from the inside as well. But I unlocked it. I was out of control.
I am having a really hard time controlling my emotions. Once I get worked up it is very hard for me to calm down. It took me a very very long time to calm down after Daddy left. When he came home it was a very uncomfortable atmosphere. I knew I did something bad but I just couldn’t control myself.
After dinner I was back to my normal self, which was strange considering how upset I was and the ruckus that I caused.
