20 Months

I don't know what happened to our sweet, adorable baby. It's like some demon has possessed him, causing him to throw himself on the floor, kicking and screaming. I think we've hit the terrible two's a few months early. Since we've returned from PA, Jake has had one tantrum after another. They are usually triggered by taking something away from him (like cleaning supplies, remote controls, phones - you know, all of the things children should have) or making him come inside from outside. He has learned how to make himself limp so you have difficulty picking him up. He then precedes to lay on the floor kicking, screaming and crying. The dogs and I had to step over him yesterday when I was putting groceries away and wouldn't let him have a bottle of beer.

On the other hand, Jake went to daycare today and had a great time. The staff said he was very well-behaved. No tantrums. Go figure.

I think I'm going to have that beer now.
