Well, Mij from what I've managed to deduce so far (the tantrums have only started in the last couple of weeks), the food tantrums have tended to happen after a nap and the Pickle is absolutely inconsoleable (spelling??!!) and very theatrical until the *right* snack is produced and put in front of her. The other tantrums (which tend to be related to something she has found but isn't supposed to play with/somewhere she isn't supposed to be) are really short lived, not very dramatic and are usually sorted with a bit of distraction or a ridiculous rendition of the 'Big Red Bus' or 'Wind The Bobbin Up' (don't ask......sits, thinks about how one didn't know such songs pre-Pickle, remembers the Hed Kandi CDs that used to be the favourites, looks at the current CD selection of 'singalong' songs..........hhhhmmmm need to get out more).
