Caroline is partial to the "Screaming Banshee" and "Wet Noodle" positions
I was just reading an insightful article that was sent with my weekly Babycenter e-newsletter. In it, the author claims that one way toddlers show love and affection is by throwing temper tantrums - the assumption being that they 1) are testing you to see how much you love them, and 2) trust you enough that they feel like they can express their emotions in such a - uh, er - theatrical way. I guess when Caroline throws herself on the ground quite melodramatically when I tell her for the 30th time to climb off of the coffee table, or goes limp when all I'm trying to do is put on her coat, she's just sending a little shout-out my way...
