Yesterday we had no fewer than 50 tantrums—and 15 of those were during a half-hour trip to the grocery store. I didn't know if either of us would make it out of there alive. Luckily they're cute when they're sleeping, so you can end your day with warm and fuzzy thoughts about them. :-)Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302374456833324866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326687909327874206.post-20385984166785786312008-02-21T21:15:00.000-06:002008-02-21T21:15:00.000-06:00There was a really funny post I just read about th...There was a really funny post I just read about this....I think you will get a kick out of it....<BR/><BR/>http://johnson-mccormickfamily.blogspot.com/2007/02/top-ten-wharped-mindset-of-mama-of-twin.htmlChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488551867686158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326687909327874206.post-90171649541772458852008-02-21T20:32:00.000-06:002008-02-21T20:32:00.000-06:00Yes!

I feared for any child who got in his "space." He is now three and in a whole new stage, but he does great with other children now. Thank, God! The last time he bit a child in the face was four months ago! Keep up with the mantras and crazy repetition it will one day pay off. On the other hand, I'm really happy my child isn't passive and shy!Autumn and Dan's familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439633486581902474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326687909327874206.post-12023162879740944982008-02-21T15:49:00.000-06:002008-02-21T15:49:00.000-06:00Well the little beauty queen was certainly sweet a...Well the little beauty queen was certainly sweet and angelic when Tsega ran up to hug her as she was racing for *her* pool in MN :). She wasn't an "icky poo" at all, quite the contrary.<BR/><BR/>Ohh, but I hear you on the fear. We're actually pretty scared to let our boys get around other babies for fear they will bite them in a mean way, not a love bite way. Thank G they don't attend day care; most def they would have been kicked out by now! Plus last summer Tsega practically beat up a 4 year old boy and made him cry (hmmm, come to think of it, kids about that age usually give T pretty dirty looks at his over-friendliness); and there was that 9 year old girl last June who cried for help. . .Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142069245960848781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326687909327874206.post-24346330088770754992008-02-21T12:34:00.000-06:002008-02-21T12:34:00.000-06:00It will get better!!
