Yet another...

We had another huge clothes related tantrum this morning. Got all of the family in a great mood to start off the day. Then this afternoon I guess we had been home for about 5 minutes before the next clothes related tantrum started. I honestly am at a loss for what to do about this. I just know I have to fix it because I am NOT (did every one hear me???), NOT, NOT going to have a child who acts this way. If I have to give away every stitch of clothing she owns and dress her in all solid color pants and t-shirts for the rest of her life, I will. And believe it or not, that is the solution I am cooking up in my mind right now. Thinking out loud here... what if I took all of her clothes and locked them in her closet so that she could not get to them, and only allowed her to wear a select few outfits(plain, of course) until this behavior stops? I could make exceptions for church, and maybe dance class and that's it. Do you think that would help? I need something because between Brad and myself there's just not enough patience for this EVERY day. My nerves can't take it. My friend Christy said she heard about a book called "The Strong-Willed Child"... maybe I'll look for it because that's definitely what I have on my hands here, to say the least.
