In the past week or so, Thumper has just started doing really cute tantrums... the sort where she lies on her back on the floor and kicks both her legs up and down simultaneously whilst crying in that put-on sort of way.
And it gets better, as of today, she no longer just drops to the floor, banging her head on the timber floor boards, instead she has learned to carefully get down on hands and knees, then carefully lie on her tummy, then carefully roll over on to her back and only then to proceed with the tantrum.
I remember SingingCheese telling me about toddlers who did this sort of thing when she was BallFiend's carer at creche, and that her strategy for dealing with tantrums (whatever the style of tantrum) is to simply laugh. Well, Thumper is certainly making it easy for me to laugh at her tanties!
