Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

If you are not familiar with the story, it is basically about a man with a split personality, split in the sense that within the same person, there is both an apparently good and an evil personality each being quite distinct from the other. I've discovered that my very own son is just this. You may not believe me. You may be thinking, "but he's always so behaved when I see him." That is because you know my little "Mr. Hyde". Somewhere in the recent days I have meet "Dr. Jekyll". He gets into these screaming tantrums for no apparent reason. He won't be fed. He won't be held. He will NOT be happy. Driving me to my whits end, all I can do is put him in a "time out" to gather myself. Yesterday he was on one again. Alex was home to witness the event. So the video here is of my sweet, loving, playful.....Mr. Hyde!...who later moves onto Dr. Jekyll!

There was no solution. I grabbed my camera after he had been on this tantrum for a while. Ignore the rubbing of the eyes...no...he's not tired. He just woke up from a nice long nap. He woke up fine. He even sat in his high chair and ate some snacks till he didn't want anymore.
