God. That's ... not cute. Sherlock, feeling trapped and desperate and useless, unable to control his environment or himself. *shivers*

*nods* Ever since I heard a child psychologist explain toddlers' meltdowns in those terms, I've had a lot more sympathy for them when they do actually have a tantrum. It must be absolutely terrifying to feel that you're not in control of anything at all, including your own emotions.

Having walked through a shopping centre with a screaming toddler stuck under my arm, I have every sympathy with John.

They are fearsome little bundles of noise when they take a mind to be, indeed.

I am very much in love with this story, and even more so for the realistic portrayal of a toddler (and dear gods, a toddler with Sherlock's brain, even in infant stage! No wonder John is reaching the end of his tether!)

Oh by the way, I found this today and thought of the teddy bear / stuffed gorilla.

Aw, sweet! Winnie-the-Pooh / Watson-the-John. :) I rather liked this one as well, when it came round on my dash a few days ago.

And I'm very glad to hear the toddler-ness rings true...it's been many long yonks since my babysitting days, plus I'm trying to give baby Sherlock a few Aspie traits as well to satisfy my own head!canon. Thankfully for poor John, there's only one more chapter to go...

Oh man, poor boys. But I did laugh at the end when Sherlock put John's arm on his back. My youngest does that!!

*nods* Anyone who thinks babies don't communicate just because they can't speak yet isn't listening properly.

I really enjoy reading this and I have three of these at home, 2 year olds that is, and if you think one 2 year old having a tantrum is awful, 3 is just out of this world awful.
Eagerly awaiting the next bit.
