What does a melt down look like

Gavin has not hit the terrible two's yet but, he sure has himself some total melt downs, here all it took was me walking out of the room he was in and telling him to stay in there because I was going to the bath room,he lay in the floor and cried until I came back into the room and as soon as I sit down in a chair,up he came and started smiling. I had my camera in hand here because I'd been taking pictures of the children playing. I caught him step by step having his melt down. "This too shall pass" all in good time,or at lest we hope so. I am sure there are lots of moms who have seen this,so if you are a new mom out there "expect it" and just maybe you will be one of the lucky moms who does not have to deal with it. It can be heart breaking and it also can make you wish for a good set of ear plugs, I think it last the lest amount of time if mostly ignored,hard to do but,it does seem to work best,the child seems to just feel like having them self a good cry when they do not get their way or told NO.They are MAD. I think it runs in families maybe too, as Gavin's brother has had his share. It could be they pick up on it from a sibling. Gracelyne has no siblings nor does Brayden- Eryn or Claire so far I have never seen them have a total melt down. if ever they get up sit and cry they are over it just with me talking to them and they have never layed down in the floor and cried. I wonder if the sibling thing is a connection to melt downs.(like jealousy is the root of it maybe-not knowing how to deal with a feeling or they can not do what another is-say an older child or person) when Reece was smaller he had a few melt downs and still can but not as often,now he seems to want to mouth as granny would call it and be stubborn. I have a feeling his older brother did not have as bad a melt down or none and that when he was up set, he mostly cried with-out throwing him self down on the floor,and with-out getting SO MAD. Maybe it is being the only child,they get what they want MOST the time,so they adjust better to the word NO because they do not hear it as often. Now having thought about this ,it makes sense that the number a child is when born into a family has a lot to do with their personally when they grow up. I was number three -----What number were you? If you was number 3 also-would we be more alike with more in common. I know I think way to deep sometimes! Could it be the 3. I have three children-they are all very different-the first layed back easy going,he does not worry much about any thing(even when I think he should be)-the second has had a temper,but it gets better with age,he has been more stubborn too,he never layed in the floor and cried as a child but he was not happy when he did not get his way,he would get very sad. Number three has Lot's of patience,is easy going and never threw fits-he always seemed older and wiser, he is a deep thinker,he always thinks of consequences before he does any thing. All three different but yet I see all of them being some like me in my thinking-I have heard that the one that gives you the most problems will be the one most like you----well believe it or not in my family,this is very true. Now having said this,I also think the children have other issues that are thrown in there when they have a step parent. That's another chapter and not having a step parent,or having grew up with any of my close family having step parents-I want go there. So much for my point of view!
