Let the tantrums begin

I apparently didn't take a lot of pictures the last few weeks - it looks like only on the weekend when we were in Edmonton! Oops! I got to meet up with Ruthy and Elijah on Saturday which was fun. Well, it was fun except for the fact that Lynsey did NOT cooperate in the mall. She constantly wanted to push the stroller this way and that, sometimes pulling in this direction or that - you can guess how well that works in a mall like West Ed. Very frustrating. We have come to realize that she may be entering what people call "The Terrible Twos". She almost always throws a fit when I take her inside after playing outside. The worst thing about this age is that she does not understand logic or reason. I can't tell her that we just have to come inside to have lunch and then she can go outside again. I can't tell her we'll come to the park again tomorrow. There is no reasoning! She just knows that she is devastatingly disappointed and doesn't know how to deal with that kind of disappointment yet. I hope that she will learn soon how to better deal with it, and that I will learn what the best method of preparing her for it is! Ugh. She was pretty easy to take care of for several months, so I guess I should have expected things to get tougher at some point.
