I have just discovered something funnier than toddler tantrums - 10month old baby tantrums! They are just the most adorable things.

In the last couple of days our baby Usurper has started to have the odd full blown tantrum. I don’t mean like the don’t leave me in this cot to sleep tantrum, but a real ‘I want it and an I want it my way type tantrum’.

She did one this morning where she wanted some shiny object of desire which I wouldn’t give to her. It was probably something harmless like a knife, but she really really wanted it and was not happy when I wouldn’t give it to her.

She just lay there on the ground screaming, banging her little heals and fists on the floor. It was loud, annoying and not a good portend for the future, but I just could not stop laughing. Of course there is a long way to go yet, so we will see who has the last laugh in due course.

In other news, Little Miss remains high strung and phobic about everything - toilet water running out, the battery in something going flat, a water tap being left running for two seconds, he little sister looking in the direction of any of her stuff, or our stuff, or anything really - I think she may just be baby sister phobic or something.

Looking forward to those teen years - yay! I must be looking really stressed out about it all - Wife wanted to call a nurse to check me over or something like that.
