Toddlers and Tantrums
Being a mother teaches you such incredible skills that you just don't get the pleasure of learning in any other atmosphere. Emily has grown to express her opinions with these terrible whole-body tantrums. I've experienced several of these in the car (Ryan will recall a long drive to Atlanta where Em showcased this talent). After she has worn herself out a little, the only thing she will calm down for is to hold my hand. That's fabulous if I can ride passenger and in the back. However, driving down the freeway or the busy streets can be a bit nerve wracking when trying to steer while half-turned in the seat to console my daughter. So, my vote is in for a third hand! Who has THAT on their presidential agenda?

at least you are willing to turn half around and hold her hand.
I just turn the radio up louder and start singing.
sometimes I'll pretend cry louder and that usually gets them to stop.
Oh the joys of motherhood!! Gotta love em!:)
