let the games begin


Amelia is beginning to master the art of temper tantrums. She has figured out how to hold on to what she wants and pulls back. It's kinda funny when it happens, and as long as she doesn't see me, i have to laugh at her. She first did it to me with balmax, then she did it to Darrin with a magazine i think. It was totally unexpected and took us both off guard. I really expect to just take the balmax back and she clamped down and held on. i had to pry her fingers off. She has also started to throw herself down when she is unhappy. If you tell her no, she gets mad, makes a fake crying face and throws herself on the floor. It's really hard not to laugh at her. We try to ignore her so she won't get the reaction she wants. Where do kids learn these things? How do they know to throw themselves on the floor? there has to be a secret class on misbehaving; the toddler years :) this pic was snapped right after the tug of war over the blamex ended.
