Terrible Twos Already?

Wow, we have had a rough couple of days with little Wright man. He is cutting some sort of tooth (maybe a 2 year molar?) and he is obviously in pain and therefore very very irritable. Today he had his first major temper tantrum, and I was completely at a loss as to how to handle it. It started with me giving him mac and cheese for lunch which was hot and I am guessing he did not like it that hot and it made him really mad. Then he did not want to eat at all and no matter what I tried or what I offered him, he would not stop screaming and crying. So I put him in time out to get him to calm down so he could come out and eat his lunch. After about three minutes of screaming in his crib, I went in and picked him up. At this point, I felt sorry for him. He was so hysterical he did not know what he wanted. I held him and he kicked me and wanted down, I put him down and he screamed and wanted back up. Then he begged to go in his booster seat, so I tried to strap him in and he screamed "out, out". Then I ditched the original lunch and offered him other things, all his favorites. He did not want ANY of it. Finally after about 20 minutes of this, I decided that there was no logic, rhyme or reason, this was a true full fledged temper tantrum and there was nothing I was going to be able to do to soothe him. He had had peanut butter crackers for a snack and it was almost nap time, so I decided he just needed to go to bed. I put him in his crib, still shrieking and out of control and just walked out of the room. By this point, I was pretty shaken too. I had to listen to him scream for about 10 minutes more until like a switch of a light, he was out. Wow, I hope this was exaggerated because of the teething and not just a glimpse into my future. I can't even imagine what I would have done had we not been at home. Poor little guy...
