I walk therefore I tantrum

So last night Morgan decided it was time for some serious walking and started wandering around the house. As in, get up in the living room, walk (with sippy in mouth) to the hall to see where Jessie went (after a ball), and walk back without stopping. Today she walked like a champ to me at Mary's and then tonight was the last straw - she walked EVERYWHERE and repeatedly. She walked around the table strictly b/c she could, I swear. It's great. Thanksgiving is going to be a "Nike's" holiday as we're going to have to be wearing them to catch her. :)

Morgan now throws herself on the ground ALL OUT when she A) doesn't get her way, B) can't get a toy to work the way she wants it to, or C) when something is taken away from her after her second chance at something unacceptable fails. We're making sure she's safe (tantruming on the floor away from sharp wood, on the floor if she's on the edge of the couch) and then completely ignoring her. It hasn't sunk in yet that she's not getting what she wants by tantruming but I'm sure it's not too far off. I do, however, realize that this doesn't mean it will stop any time soon. I'm realistic, people.

Off to cut Adam's hair and decide which Christmas project to work on. I wish Muscatine had more choices for shopping. Walmart's "craft section" just doesn't cut it. Sad to admit - I even thought about when we're putting up Christmas lights tonight...
