Wet Noodle

Part of Jillian's newfound ability to throw a little mini-tantrum is her new maneuver called the "wet noodle". When she has her mind set on something, and then we (or anyone else) tries to pull her away or pick her up, she goes all limp. A lot of times Jillian will arch her back and throw her head backwards, but at the same time, she'll get all floppy in her arms and legs, which makes holding her pretty difficult. And of course, she's yelling and crying while she does this. If we don't hold her up, she'll end up laying on the ground. We actually thought it was kind of funny at first ...
