Calling all moms...............

Okay all you expert, seasoned, experienced moms.........I need your help (or at least just some encouragement)!

What are your best tips for surviving the Terrible Two's Tantrums?????

Things like:

"I don't want my milk in THAT cup!"
"(Screaaaaaaaaaam, kick, holler) I don't want to go potty!!"
"No, Daddy, I want Mommy to help me!"
"No, I want to climb into my chair all by myself! (Jump out of chair with serious attitude and climb back into chair with even more serious attitude)"
"No, don't rinse my Aaaaaaapple!"
Jump off pew during sermon, rustle the color sheet from bible class, make animal noises while reading Noah pop up book (after several warnings from mom, dad, dirty look from older lady sitting near front), so mom puts him in lap because the rule is you have to sit in her lap if you can't stay in the pew.........and World War 4 breaks out(World War 3 was that morning while getting ready for church) .......sigh
"I want candy, PLEASE! (Nuclear meltdown because the answer is no to eating candy at 6:30 a.m. for breakfast even though toddler used the polite term "please" although not in a polite tone)
and the list goes on..........

Thanks to the advice and encouragement that has already come my way from Debbie, Laurie, Laura, and other toddlers who exhibit similar behavior in public and at church so that I know that I am not the only mom dreaming of jumping in the car from Back to the Future so that I can just get away..................

Let me hear what you have to say moms..................now it's time for me to get back into the ring.........Ding!

(stay tuned for a book review of a novel I am currently reading.......)
