Tuesday when I picked Katelynn up at pre-school, her eyes were red and puffy and she looked absolutely miserable. Her teacher informed me that she threw a huge tantrum at naptime. Ms. Mary Anne asked her to turn off the light and she refused. So Ms. Mary Anne assigned another student to do the task, and KK went into full meltdown mode. Very classic - always an issue of control...Now, I have become somewhat accustomed to her 10-on-the-Richter-scale hour-long temper tantrums. I hate them, but they don't surprise me anymore. But this was the first time she has done this for anyone other than her mommy/daddy or Nanna/PopPop. Few have witnessed it in-person. Most have only heard me talk about them only to assume I must be one of those dramatic and exaggerating mommies.
Since she was absolutely out of control, she had to make a little trip to the preschool director's office. Eventually she fell asleep on Ms. Sarah's floor. This is one embarrassed mommy just *praying* that this was a one-time occurrence. Yikes...
If it makes you feel better, Hannah has visited the director's office multiple times! Something about a strong will, a sharp mind, and lots of drama! I keep reminding myself that it is the spunk that makes her so fun!:-)
