Tantrums

When Ali was a baby she was amazing. She slept about 20 hours a day, and the other four she would be eating and playing happily. I paid dearly for such good behavior when she hit about 18 months. She threw epic tantrums. My sister still jokes about how bad they were. Well, it appears that this trait is hereditary. Only Jack is just 9 months old. His tantrums are not epic, but what nine month old even throws a tantrum. Usually when they are mad about one thing, a shiny other thing can distract them. Not this boy. He is focused. Here is a sampling.
