Deal or No Deal

Ahh Cooper. I'm not sure how much sleep the child got, I'm sure it was very little. But, suffice it to say, it was not enough.
Earlier today I casually mentioned to Cooper that he would not be able to play "tools" until he picked up the crayons. He had what can only be described as, well, we'll call it a complete meltdown. Thrashing of limbs, screaming uncontrollably, you know, meltdown.
When Cooper doesn't get his way, he attacks me. Sort of. He runs after me and grabs hold of my leg and then won't let go. I'm not sure what the purpose is, or the result he is going for. It really resembles a hug. Were it not for the incessant screaming I might think "Aw, how cute. My baby loves me." Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats not what he's trying to tell me. (It is rather funny.)
Well, during said meltdown, Kami looks at me and says "I don't know whats his deal." Followed by, "I think he learned it from you."

For the record - I don't throw temper tantrums.

Fun Kami fact: Her vocabulary has gotten rather familiar...almost like someone else says it all the time. hmmm... Her latest "Oh my gosh." (we are working on changing that one to goodness) and "Oh shoot, oh shoot, oh shoot!" Too cute coming from a 3 year old who has no idea why one says something like that.
