Where is my sweet little munchkin? He is still around at times but we are going through a "I am one and I can do everything myself and those that try to stand in my way are mean" phase. Hitting and a little bit of biting are going on when a certain little man is mad. How/where did he learn this? I know, I know, the teen months are rough for toddlers. But when did he come to think it was ok to try to bop mommy in the face and bite her hand when she tries to lead me somewhere???? We are sloooooowly learning that when mommy is holding you and you hit mom she puts you down. Ohhhhhhh, that brings about some major hissies. Little fists all clenched up, face is red, mad tears coming down the cheeks, screaming. What saves me is that it is often funny when the hissies show themselves, plus I know he's just learning the ways of the world. He does forgive me easily for the ways that I have "wronged him" and made it so hard to be Riley. He also gives very nice hugs to let me know that for the next few minutes he won't think I am the one who stands between him and fun!

Ha, I'm glad you are putting some of your "teacher skills" into practice. I'm afraid all the behavior advice I've been giving families is going to backfire on me and I'm not going to be able to walk-the-walk with my own kids! :)
Hard to believe that this is the same little mellow dude I saw at Starbucks a few weeks ago. Babies keep one busy, but the real work begins when they are toddlers....hang in there, life with kids is like a roller coaster ride. Tia Cece
I have to admit I get a kick out of him clenching his fists and scrunching up his face to let you know just how he feels.
