anatomy of a meltdown

Reagan has become a much more smiley girl...but she can still flip on you in a matter of seconds. Think terrific to tantrum in the blink of an eye.

This face signals the beginning of the end for the happy times.

And the true crying and screaming begins. Now, I know that I probably should have comforted her and put down the camera. In my defense, most people that see her for a brief time probably think that I am dramatizing her princess behavior. I wanted to have proof that I do not lie.

These pictures were taken over the course of about 5 minutes. Luckily, I was able to calm her right down once I put down the camera and picked her up. The girls loves her momma. The camera? Not so much.
