Jillian has raised her tantrum intensity to a whole new level. Grannie remarked that maybe she is starting her "terrible twos" early, after seeing her throw a couple of fits firsthand. Whatever the case, Jillian now cries louder and longer, collapses onto the ground faster and harder, and has developed a new expression for her unhappiness ... throwing stuff!! Oh, joy. Daddy also got to experience the new "Scary-Pie" when he took Jillian home after work. She wanted to play with her carseat buckles, but Daddy said "no", at which point she threw a little fit. Then, she wanted her bubbles, so Daddy got the bubble jug down for her. Apparently, she was still unhappy about not getting to play with the buckles, because she took a swing at the bubble jug, trying to knock it down. Daddy said "all done" and put the jug away, and then the (long, long) tantrum began. It took a while, but Jillian eventually regained her composure and became "Sweetie-Pie" again ... until Mommy got home from work, and then she came unglued again.Here's a quick photo of our little "Sweetie-Pie".

Hold your ground Rick and Heather! This is an important time to establish who is the boss. It's Jillian's job to test mommy and daddy to see what she can get away with... so start early. I'm telling you this because I didn't do it very well - so learn from my mistakes! :)
