A not so wanted first...
No adventures today but we did get our first proper tantrum. A few months ago we witnessed Leah shouting at us when we took something off her, today we were on the receiving end of a full body tantrum. We can't even remember what triggered it, something insignificant like Leah not getting picked up the precise moment that she wanted to be and it resulted in her throwing herself onto her belly and kicking her legs and smacking her hands on the floor. Of course being the vigilant and responsible parents that we are we just burst out laughing. Seeing our little baby throwing a "terrible two" tantrum was very very funny but we're quickly researching the correct response so that we can nip this in the bud....any suggestions anyone????

Laughing is usually my response too, Bjornie throws the most adorable tantrums, he makes the world's most miserable face, then very slowly and carefully gets himself onto the floor, then lies on his back kicking his legs and crying.
I usually pick him up and cuddle him, and he comes around. However cuddling would just make Rosa more mad when she was his age, so I think you just need to figure out what they need. A good healthy screaming fit does them the world of good sometimes! If you figure out how to ensure these don't occur in Trader Joes, let me know.
