So today I thought I would just drive for a while so we could get the mission accomplished. Little Buddy threw himself into a fit like I've only heard of. He cried so hard and so long that he forgot to breathe. He literally turned blue and his eyes rolled back in his head. I think he was about 1 second from passing out when we turned him upside down and snapped him back into reality. That might be the scariest thing I've ever seen him do. It took him a good ten minutes of cuddle time to recover. Please tell me my sweet little baby is not going to start doing the "Give me what I want or I'll hold my breath until I pass out" thing. PLEASE!!!! Did I say I had the baby bug? Can I take it back?

No comment. My son threw fits like that...you don't want to hear from me about it :) Tantrems definitely make you want to exterminate the baby bug. But them you remember how cute those little critters are!
One of my uncles did that, but would literally hold his breath until he passed out (at least, that's what Grandma Ellis said). An old country doc asked her if they had a well with good cold water. She replied, "Well, yes, we do." The doc said, "The next time that young'un throws himself one of those fits, you just walk out to the well and get you a dipper full of that cold water. Then you come in and throw it in his face." She did. And that was the last time he threw on of those "breath holding" tantrums. This story has been passed down through a couple generations, so I don't know how much of it is true, but we always thought it was hilarious.
I must have heard that story because I was heading to the sink to get water while Hubby was getting him out of his high chair. Somehow I knew the cold water was going to snap him out of it.
