Much like learning to distinguish between your newborn's cries, learning to 'read' your toddlers non-verbal cues is an essential skill for preventing monster meltdowns. I've learned to pay attention to Liam's expressions, they say it all...

"This sucks, get out of my face"

And my personal favorite: "aww mom, you're a bitch!"
