Please help 😭

My 18 month old has been tantruming like absolute crazy this week. And I mean SCREAMING and crying like she’s being hurt. All because we didn’t give her a specific food. Right now it’s because I gave her grapes instead of apples. She asked for the apple AFTER I made her lunch. Is this normal? What do I do?
