So during one of Tjabe's screaming fits today we tried putting soap in his mouth. (In case you're wondering, we did try hot sauce a few days ago and he seemed to like that too. So far we have struck out with vinegar, mustard, and hot sauce - apparently, he has some unusual tastes.)
Anyway, I bought some bars of Ivory at the store the other day and today one was put to work. That's right, Tjabe opened his mouth and Sam scraped some of the bar off right onto his teeth. Bleh - I almost gagged watching it. Fortunately, Tjabe didn't like it either. He stopped crying but was clearly not enjoying the experience. Success! Of course we don't enjoy putting our child through misery, but my hope is that this may be the solution to his screaming temper tantrums. And a relatively harmless one at that.
