Finally!




a

What is life like at the Grandparents' you ask? Tantrums. Lots of them. I don't know if it is all the newness, the age, or all the stuff that he is not allowed to do or he just can't do physically. Thank God for giving me the patience to handle this.

We spend a lot of time outside taking walks with the dog and going to parks. He loves to play in the leaves and push his stroller. He has learned a lot of new words and signs. Some of his new favorite signs are "leaf" and "airplane." He hears lots of planes and helicopters overhead now that we are so close to Fort Hood. He hears them before most anyone else.

What is up with the tantrums? He likes having everything go his way or he gets frustrated, squats down and bonks his head on whatever he is mad at. Thus he now has a big bruise and a sore on his forehead from whacking it too hard. My new mantra: "This is only a phase!"
