Grabby Hands
Warning: never say your child will do something, because not only will they do it--they will excel at it! My mother told me this when I was pregnant, and I didn't listen. I had a list a mile long of "my child will NEVER do "x."
Gracie has now reached the age where hands come flying out of the grocery cart to grab all sorts of shiny and fun things from the isles. This morning I took her to Food Lion, where she promptly threw 2-3 fits when I wouldn't let her have the shiny object of her choice. These "things" were usually something with a familiar face on it like Dora or Elmo. This newfound "skill" was repeated this evening as we walked through the toys isles in Walmart.
Unfortunately, Gracie has embarrassed me by excelling at two of the things I said she would never do: grab at things on the shelves, and throw a temper tantrum when she didn't get what she wanted.
Its not too late--heed my warning: never say "never" when it comes to your child, save yourselves!!!!
