More of Grace being the world's fussiest baby, I think he'd get really apologetic and embarrassed when he's big again after throwing a fit when he's little.
Like, imagine how he reacted after throwing a huge tantrum with Stratt for the first time and getting a timeout. I feel like he'd be very embarrassed when he's big.
The fuuuuussiest yet most apologetic!
Oh my goodness, Grace was very grumpy that day! He missed his nap, he's been working EXTRA hard and was just crumbling!!
So, when Stratt told him no to having skittles before lunch...ooh he was NOT a happy camper. He stomped his foot and cried before just plopping onto the ground and just sobbed and kept pushing whatever was close to him further and further away because he's upset and he's just so fussy!
Of course Stratt isn't one to let tantrums go. She knows Grace is upset but she also knows he needs a calm down time. So, she goes over to Grace and plucks him up (grabbing hold of his arm) and marches him over to the corner of the room, somewhere with nothing stimulating, just a smooth wall and stepping stool.
Grace sits there, arms crossed over his chest and the most serious pout his little kind can muster up!
It only takes a few minutes before Grace come toddling back over to Stratt, face stained with tears and some very apologetic eyes and he sniffles.
"M'orry Mama, I didn', didn' mean to be bad," his voice so small and watery.
Stratt looks at Grace and softly sighs, "I know you didn't mean to be, but, you were. That's why you went to timeout," she pauses, patting her lap slightly, continuing her sentence once Grace climbed onto her lap, "you needed a quiet place to think about your actions and time to calm down," she runs her fingers through the back of his hair, feeling him relaxing into her touch, "now, we're going to have lunch, you're going to eat it and maybe if you're good, you can have a treat later, okay?"
Grace sniffles, pressing his face into the crook of her neck as he nods, "o'tay."
Oh gosh when Grace is big and vaugly starts to remember his tantrum he is VERY apologetic! Fumbling over his words as he say how sorry he is about being...that emotional over dang skittles!
Stratt just shrugs, "you made some compelling arguments between your sobs. And in that headspace, no candy is the most devastating thing for you," she looks at Grace, "so, it's alright. You settled quickly."
