She didn't want to sit in the stroller, but refused to hold my hand (near the street) so I had to pick her up, inciting a fit much like the one you describe above. I flipped her up over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes then proceeded to fold the umbrella stroller with one hand and my feet (somehow) and then carry stroller, groceries and child (still slung over my shoulder screaming like a loon) the rest of the way home. Ah, good times, good times.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722088384595765913.post-52662570850877827412012-02-10T12:13:22.465-05:002012-02-10T12:13:22.465-05:00Just give -me- four months.

Except she did pause at the I AM 5 cycle long enough to master the EYEROLL and as she twirled by the I AM TEENAGER, HEAR ME ROAR phase she picked up the "Lord haven't I suffered enough with these Parents" *sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* that lasts 27 minutes and is accompanied by the eyeroll.
