Our First Tantrum

Raychel had her first tantrum today... It's a funny story, really!

We received her Easter dress in the mail (Yes, eBay!) and Daddy said, "Let's try it on!" So, we put it on! She immediately started crying, then screaming, and then shrieking!!! Apparently, that was NOT what she wanted to be doing at that time! To make matters worse, we couldn't get the dress off of her! It is not stretchy, AT ALL!! She was a mess of flailing arms and legs, which did not help (imagine that)!

Finally, we removed the dress. We tried to console her, tried redirecting her attention, and tried ignoring her...but to no avail. When she wouldn't stop screaming, we put her in her crib. She spent the next 45 minutes wailing in her room! At one point she stopped, so I went in to get her. She had fallen asleep and my entry woke her up and she started screaming again...so I walked back out!

FINALLY...........she stopped and seemed perfectly happy the rest of the night!

What started it all...this sweet little dress!

I had to edit and add to this note! We got her 9 month pictures taken in the dress. AFTER the pictures I pulled REALLY, REALLY hard on the zipper and it came down further making it a SNAP (err, zip) to take off the dress! So...here is a picture with her in the "tantrum dress" minus the tantrum! LOL
