I'll call this avoiding the meltdown....

Moms of 3 yr olds....I have figured it out!!! When your kid is melting down, just take a video! You can see her arms folded and there are still tears in her eyes in the beginning...then she quickly becomes silly. Our meltdown started out because Daddy got her Strawberry Banana yogurt instead of just Banana...then she makes up this thing about me scaring her. She's hilarious.
And don't ask me why I'm taking a video of her eating and telling her not to talk with her mouth full...I obviously need coffee.haha.
