What do you do when your good baby isn't?

Yesterday was an odd day for my family. When I got home from work, Oliver was playing outside with Mommy. But when we brought him inside, he started screaming. We went through the usual list - hungry? wet? tired? sick? bored? scared? and drew blanks. He didn't want to eat anything and was upset at all of the things that we offered. After minutes of this, he finally calmed down and ate something. Then it was time to go and the screaming started again as we put him into his car seat. He was screaming the whole way until we got to the restaurant. Thankfully he was good at the restaurant or it would have been a very short meal. But the screaming started again when we went to put him in the car. The screaming stopped when we were at the meeting, but started again when it was time to go. He calmed down by the time we got home and was asleep when I got back from the grocery store.

I guess we should just be thankful that screaming is a sometimes mode.
