Utterly predictable
When we were trying to adopt, I would read baby books and they didn’t make sense. Then Tin came around and I had to start reading in a hurry, three books at a time, and most of them were very helpful. Recently, E recommended some books for me written by Louise Bates Ames and James Ilg – titled simply Your One-Year-Old: The Fun-Loving, Fussy 12-To 24-Month. Then there is the Two, and Three, and etc.
Well perfect timing as last night, I brought Tin to the porch to sit on my lap in the rocking chair and look at the full moon for a few minutes before bedtime and he stiffened like a board and refused to sit. It wasn’t but a few weeks ago that he would sit in my lap all evening on the porch. I started reading Your Two-Year-Old, Terror or Tender, and it said, just like when he was 18 months old and wouldn’t sit in your lap anymore but instead stiffened like a board.
Answers in the back of the book – go figure.
