Audrey is entering the toddler stage, and with that comes more cuts and bruises as well as the toddler temper tantrums. Since she began walking back in January, Audrey commonly gets scrapes and bruises from tripping, hitting her head tables (because she doesn’t realize how tall she is) and climbing. Lately, however, she has made a habit of having physical injuries while mommy is gone. While mommy was at the Jimmy Buffet concert last week, Audrey fell off of the couch while playing with her dogs and busted her lip open. She had a huge fat lip for a couple of days, and Monday, Audrey was starting to look normal again. Then, Monday night, mommy went to Columbia to visit the Phi Mu chapter, and Audrey broke out in hives. We still don’t know what caused them, but the hives were a blessing in disguise, because when we took her to the doctor, they found that she has an ear infection. Wednesday morning, we woke up, and the hives were all but gone. Then, Audrey came home from daycare Wednesday with a bruise on her forehead. It’s always something!
Audrey’s other new talent is throwing temper tantrums. She threw a good one while daddy was gone, and she and mommy were coming home from church. Mommy was carrying groceries and wanted Audrey to walk down the hall from the elevator to the front door, but Audrey decided to sit down in the middle of the hallway and wail for 5 minutes. Just the other night, Audrey threw a fit because we would not give her another piece of white chocolate candy that daddy brought back from Israel. She stood by the cabinet where we stored the candy and cried for about 5 minutes until she got distracted by the dogs. She also likes to throw a temper tantrum when she is standing on the elevator, it opens on the wrong floor (for another Marquette resident to get on or off), and we stop her from exiting the elevator. She really does not like to be told “no.” Ahh, the joys of toddler-hood.
