Tantrums Vs. Meltdowns

Today we had what you call a MELTDOWN!

I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to try to make Chase poop in the potty.  This is something we have pretty much not even tried to do since we initially got him potty trained.  He pees in the potty without any problems and hardly ever any accidents, but he will NOT poop.  He strips down, puts on a pull up and goes to hide in our closet instead.  It really doesn't bother me all that much.  I know, just like EVERYTHING ELSE, he will do it when he's ready.  It bothers Big C more than me, and today I just happened to catch him in the process of putting on a pull-up so I thought I would try to get him to go on the potty.  BAD IDEA.  A 20 minute meltdown ensued.  

So guess, what?!?  He now has on a pull-up and is happily sitting in his bed, playing his iPad, waiting to have to poop again.
