Today

It was a 5 tantrum day today. At least, I may have forgotten a few. The good thing about almost 3 is that she is much better at explaining to us what the problem is. She still gets stuck on things, though, and has a hard time moving forward. A half an hour later she'll still be lamenting, "Daddy open the straw! I want me do it! Daddy open it! I not want Daddy open it!" And by lamenting I mean huddled on the floor in a little ball with tears all down her face. Well, at least we know what the issue is. 6 months ago it was just lots of incomprehensible wailing and gnashing of teeth.

But then she can turn it right around and be so darn cute and irresistable.



I asked her where her toes were and her attention was drawn to a scratch on her foot.
