Taylor got a double-dose of grandparents last weekend when Gene and Linda came out to visit. T.J.’s grown so much since the last time they’ve seen her. Grandpa Gene let her try out his cell phone, which was brave of him because a baby and her cell phone are not easily parted. Once she had that device in her hand, she didn’t want to give it up! We spent most of the weekend driving around looking at properties and Taylor was a good sport considering how much time she had to spend in the car. Gene and Linda were pretty good sports too…they hardly threw any tantrums at all!
Taylor’s learning how to throw spectacular tantrums. You really have to see it to believe it! She will sit down on the ground and place her forehead on the floor. In yoga, they refer to it as “child’s pose” and it’s supposed to clear your mind and make your breathing more efficient. The problem is that when T.J. does it, there is great sobbing and drama involved, which I’ve never seen happen in any of my yoga classes. It doesn’t sound like she’s “rejuvenating and energizing her outer being” – it’s more of a “hysterical melting down of her entire being”. All the while, a mantra is running through my head: “Make it stop…make it stop…”. Namaste.
I took a few pictures while Gene and Linda were here, but I think all of the best pictures ended up on someone else’s camera. Here’s the best of what I got:
