We now have ourselves a toddler. I don't know how that happened. Actually, I can pinpoint the week it happened....spring break. Vivi went from taking a few steps between furniture to becoming an independent walker not too long ago. That's when it happened. She's now into everything she can get into. She is very opinionated and she's a girl who knows what she wants and what she doesn't want. Oh boy...we're in for it now! We had our first full fledge tantrum when we left the park recently. I was that mom carrying away a crying baby who didn't want to leave. It now happens every time we leave the park. This picture fits her new found independence to a T. This is her friend Josie's chair. Vivi loved it and thought it was her own and didn't want to share it with anyone. "Go find your own purple chair, friends....this one is mine." However, what she doesn't know is that it's not hers. Ha ha...
Frank and I have to figure out this discipline thing now. She was so upset the other day that we had to put her in a sort of "time out" in her crib to calm down. It worked well, actually. She knows the word "No", however she'll still touch whatever it is that she's not supposed to touch, look at you, and say, "No No" (with a grin, mind you!).
Welcome to toddlerhood, I suppose!
