the woes of babyhood::the joys of motherhood
9:43 PMidn't it funny how this sweet, happy, two-teeth-grinning baby can crawl up to you, bringing all the joy and love she can muster, and then five seconds later. . . .
turn into this squirming, writhing ball of evil? in just a matter of seconds.
of course, if you're a parent, or ever had the pleasure of living with a small bipolar person who has not yet found words to describe what she's feeling, you understand.
i've found that the best way to soothe a tantrum. . . .
is to stick a camera in her face.
"mommy, i can't beLIEVE you!"
"i am obviously distraught that the world may END at ANY. GIVEN. MOMENT. . .
. . . and you're sticking that CAMERA in my FACE. AGAIN!"
here come the tears. it wasn't actual physical, emotional pain until those tears formed.
::ugh, the nerve of this poor little girl's mommy. it's an outrage she let it go on so long!::
i mean if irie really had the words, she'd be using them right now. jeez, all she wanted to do was stick her fingers in those fabulous holes she found in the wall. . . sorry, irie. we can't have a fried baby. people would ask questions.
but mommy knows her little miss iriebean.
and i know that as quickly as that tantrum came, wreaking havoc on our lives for those 4 and a half seconds, it would leave before the tears dried.
