well it all started when she was playing happily with

Peppa pig and Pedro pony. "Where's Georgie pig?" she asked me. "We don't have Georgie Pig, he's at Ella's (her friend) house"

"Georgie pig. Georgie Pig! Georgie PIIIIIIIIIG!!!!" She threw Pedro Pony and Peppa across the room and stormed out towards her pushchair, tried to get in it all the while screaming and saying "Ella Ella out out, I go out, I go out out" and "I don't want my dummy EVER" and "get off me" when I tried to help her out of the pushchair because she was hanging off it. Proper meltdown that sounded like she was being tortured.

I ignored to an extent but she wasn't safe hanging off the pushchair but refused to let me touch her with kicking and punching. I timed it, 20 minutes. Fun times.

These tantrums are definitely new.
