Putting on his parts

 

My Nan always had a saying for someone who pouted and carried on when they didn't get their way.  She'd say "they're putting on their parts".  I've now started using this saying with Buster.

 

Buster seems to be going through his 'terrible two' stage, albeit two years late.  He can throw a good little tantrum if he doesn't get his way, and just like his mum (aka me) he knows how to hold a grudge.  He sometimes gets himself so worked up about not getting his way that he exhausts himself and falls asleep.  In the past two weeks this has happened a number of times, and each time he's fallen asleep before midday.
