this is a very recent turn of events. i find it rather amusing. my wife does not. he doesn't have tantrums in public, because we immediately leave whatever we are doing and go home. he only tested my wife on this twice. he knows better than to test me (not that i'll get violent or something, but because he knows that i am even quicker about doing what i say i will than angie).

a couple of days ago, he chose to sit on a chair for fifty minutes, being ignored, rather than put his clothes on so we could leave the house. i sat there and messed with his favorite toy for entire 50 minutes, just to mess with his resolve. he held out for much longer than i think i would have been capable of doing.

he is still upstairs, tantruming, by himself, even though he's been told he can leave his room, etc., go to the park, etc. he'd rather throw a tantrum, apparently. LOL!
