Crayola Meltdown

Ryker was at Marilu's. Luis gave him crayons to draw with and - uh oh - stepped away. I walked in just as Ryker decided to change Marilu's carpet from beige to green. I took the crayons away and he had an absolute meltdown. He screamed and cried and threw himself on the floor. Marilu put him in a time out. She made him sit on the sofa (and he did) while we turned our back on him. He went on and on and on. Finally I took him home (tantrum never ceased) and tried to give him dinner. Nope. He wanted nothing but crayons. So, to bath and bed he went. The next day I sat down with him and let him draw on paper, supervised. He was so happy!
