Mr. Grumpy Pants
Little J came over for dinner with his parents and boy oh boy have the Terrible Twos arrived early! Maybe he’s teething, maybe he’s still sick, or maybe he’s just plain grumpy. All I know is that he’s got the tantrum down solid and showed off his skills today. He clung to Michelle, cried intermittently for no reason, and didn’t eat as much as he usually does. My favorite move of the night was the Super Turtle Tantrum, which entails crying while curled up in a ball with his head down on the floor. I was too slow with the camera today and didn’t get a photo of it. He’s smart enough to even place his hand down between the floor and his head for extra padding.
Koa would come by to console him but that just made him madder. I guess he doesn’t like his ears licked. He apparently knows how to say he’s mad by giving out a big faker cry and saying “Maaaa!” (That’s a drawn out “mad” without the “d” at the end.) I couldn’t help laughing at him and it was pretty cute but his parents are not happy with this turn of events. Hopefully this will be a short phase in their life. But in the meantime, if you guys need to drop him off for a few hours, holla at me. I can take the whining.

Monday, January 5, 2009Thanks for capturing this moment. Hopefully, I’ll be able to look back and smile at this phase soon. Oh, and thanks to Koa for bringing some comic relief by “releasing his stress” out on his bed.
