Epic Meltdowns.

Evan had a meltdown of epic proportions the other night. We're talking throwing himself to the ground, sobbing, screaming hysteria ... because Rob tried to give him a chocolate cookie and he didn't want it.

Cian's best meltdown ever was over kleenex. We'd been trying to get him to bed for at least half an hour and he wasn't having any of it. At one point, he asked for a kleenex. Rob got some toilet paper out of the bathroom and handed it to him.

Heart-wrenching sobs ensued.

"I don't want toilet paper," he wailed. "I want real kleenex out of the box."

After an unsuccessful attempt to convince him it didn't matter, Rob went downstairs, found a box of kleenex, and trudged back up.

"Here you go," he said taking one out of the box for Cian.

"That's not kleenex," said Cian with barely a glance in Rob's direction.

"Yes, it is."

Cian thew himself on the floor. "No it isn't. It's toilet paper."

This time Rob pulled a kleenex out of the box right in front of Cian's eyes.

"You put toilet paper in the box."

Um, yeah. Cian can be a slight bit stubborn. We finally convinced him that it was kleenex. Obviously, that made matters worse. "I don't want kleenex. I want toilet paper!"
