A strange week
Melina went through a strange week recently where she had a major meltdown tantrum once a day for about five days in a row. These were full on, possessed-by-devils tantrums with all the stops pulled out - flailing, head banging, screaming, hitting. The only thing missing was the rotating head. Everyone I talked to assured me that this was great, that she was "working on something" and about to make some huge intellectual or physical breakthrough, like maybe learning to work differential equations or tightrope between skyscrapers. And then suddenly it stopped. In general, she has just been the sweetest little friendly thing ever since. I haven't figured out what it was that she was working on, but I half suspect I'll find an unfinished novel under her crib mattress the next time I look.

Love it. And I'm sure we're NOT the only people reading it. Maybe others will post....
I'm anxious to see the car with brown buttons; if anyone can do it, you can.
Hi Jennifer - highlight of my week is checking it to see what's happening with your family - including the chickens
Jasper is obsessed with nose-picking and boogers -- Melina might be on to something with this idea of a knitted booger... I could crochet him a booger to play with instead of his real boogers. He says to me, "Auntie, I love the things you make for me," (!!!!!!) so maybe a handmade booger would be just the thing for Christmas!
Jennifer, add my name to the list of your readers! While I get many stories directly from grandma and grandpa, along with occasional photos or movies (such as Melina brushing her teeth) your blog is on my list of 'regular reads'.
I'm a few decades away (yikes!) from the terrible twos, but as memory serves, the terrible thirteens, were far more dramatic!
Joanne
