Rose-isms #4

Rose is starting to have real, bona fide, full-scale toddler tantrums.  This morning she melted down after her father and I refused to allow her to go down the basement stairs alone. (We are wicked, cruel parents.) She proceeded to, ever so dramatically, throw herself down in the front entry way, sobbing hysterically. On a dime, she then suddenly switched the crying off, ran into the bathroom, and came back with her new Mickey Mouse towel. She nicely asked for assistance to lay the towel flat in the living room (Mommy help please mommy), then proceeded to throw herself down and start wailing again.

Immediately post tantrum.

I don't want to mock her distress, but it was hard not to smile.



The other "Rose-ism" of late is that she now book-ends all sentences with "mommy."

Mommy all done mommy.
Mommy bake scones mommy.
Mommy Rose toot potty mommy.
Mommy look at me mommy. 
etc.

Mike is beginning to feel left out, but I told him that there will definitely come a time when she wants nothing to do with me!




Hope you're having a great weekend!
