Burl has a keen sense of smell and can tell if I leave the room while he sleeps. He also has some preternatural sense I can't quite name which alerts him if he's been moved away from me while he's unconscious. Should this occur, he immediately sits up, cries, crawls blindly foreward... Yes, yes, he's a genius:)
Poop (Burl) and tantrums (Ivo) kept us away from our regular coffee klatch on Wednesday.
Tantrums – hate ‘em. I think I’m getting a handle on how to deal. These tantrums seem kinda important and unavoidable. Or at least unavoidable, so I’m choosing to believe they’re important self-assertion-individuation-BUT-i’m-still-a-baby kind of development.
I’m thinking along these lines: I don’t have to do everything Ivo wants me to do. It’s ok for Ivo to be angry and sad about this. Ivo does have to do some of the things I ask him to do.
It feels like we haven’t had a tantrum since Thursday.
