Tantrums and whatnot

So Lizzy is almost 3 and i am dealing with tantrums for the craziest and silliest things. Friday morning i made a lovely breakfast of homemade waffles and sausage. we told her it was time to eat, she took one look and said i want blueberries! we of course are out of blueberries, but she doesn't understand that, she thinks we just don't want her to have any. no matter how we explain, she just doesn't get it yet. so i offer other things like chocolate and cool whip topped waffles, no good. i suppose she's just a wee bit to young to get it. so 3 hours later we walk into the kitchen and there she is eating her waffles by herself without blueberries.

now this morning we get ready and then i ask if we should have breakfast, she asks for lucky charms. of course we have 8 other kinds golden grahams, no, honey combs, no, trixx, nope, special k, no. tantrum begins with tears and please please please!!!!! here we go, we are out and she just thinks i am holding out on her. but guess what, this tantrum lasted way shorter than yesterdays and she comes to say i don't want a time out, she wants my breakfast. so i think oatmeal? no she wants the special k because she has seen me eating it. so here she is eating her breakfast, special k and a small bowl of pretzels yum!!
