Yesterday after the tantrums....

Paige got a new backpack, mainly so we can make outings more fun. We'll put her toys and snacks in it. We made 2 forts yesterday and played in it with a flashlight.




Paige is definitely changing. Yesterday Katharine and Amy were over and Paige was just acting a little odd. The biggest thing was she asked to go downstairs and then wanted to go in her highchair to eat some raisins. In retrospect, maybe she wanted in her highchair so she could have her snack to herself without sharing. But usually they play perfectly fine upstairs for the entire time. Paige was also constantly asking us to take her hand and follow her to various places. Just strange behaviour. I think she is definitely going through a developmental growth spurt.

Oops, it happened again! I just posted photos of Leyla making a fort with our couch cushions.

HHHMmmm more than likely she is sensing the "change" too and doesn't quite know how to cope...however, since the tantrums seem to be about clothing, how about choosing two items and let her pick the one she wants to wear!!! You can't let her have too much "control" or you are setting yourself up for disaster that will become a habit, especially when she wants her own way. I hope you get some good ideas from the book. I totally agree with Gramma Val, you do such great things with Paige...I just love the fort and the pictures of her with the flashlight. Such fun. Love Gramama
