( Wherein she counts. )
Life isn't all fun and games, of course. She's had her moments... today she had a massive tantrum on the bus because she wanted to sit on Jenn's lap (not happening, Jenn had the baby), and when that didn't work she simply wanted to sit anywhere but *my* lap, except I wouldn't let her because at that point she'd already screamed in my ear and failed to be even marginally polite. Between the boat and the very first stop, she proceeded to scream, scream, scream, pinch, bite, hit, and kick me. So we got off at the first stop, the two of us, and transfered to a different bus. We would've waited for the next boat to come in if she hadn't calmed down - I do so dislike inflicting a screaming child on a bus full of people. And this is the sort of trick that can seriously backfire on you. Indeed, as we got off, her screaming and kicking only intensified because I was, unfortunately, taking her away from her mom.
Luckily, it did work, and she calmed down enough that we could get on the bus right behind. And then she cheered up, though she got upset again when Jenn almost beat us home. I don't know what's into her lately, though, if her appetite is any judge, she may just be growing. I'll start bringing more snacks with us, small, healthy, high-energy stuff. She runs around a lot. Because she's three.
