Oh, and a highchair for as long as it takes to eat. Otherwise, tantrum city, ever since he was two months old. Carseat, stroller, shopping cart, backpack -- if it has straps, it's a violation of the Baby Geneva Convention.

I mostly tried to look bored when my kid had "incidents" in public, and he discovered tantrums weren't so fun, after all. But while I was looking bored, I was freaking out inside, hoping no one would come over and offer me advice or think I was kidnapping someone else's child. Ah yes, good times. ;^) Anyway, my son will be B.E.C.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17692965288646024168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1133802676161538782005-12-05T12:11:00.000-05:002005-12-05T12:11:00.000-05:00OOOh - sorry about the their/there.

Because I believe their is something evil about leaving your child alone in a dark room crying your name, needing comfort to sleep. I am a complete softy about all things dark and lonely and when people mention Ferber to me I only hear Charlie Brown's teacher.<BR/>But!! Good going on the shopping field trip!

Now, I don't think for a second that HB isn't going to put you through the wringer again, but it's promising, most promising.<BR/><BR/>It's so hilarious when a kid is crying/screaming strictly for effect, trying to manipulate his parents. I do try to be thoughtful and not laugh in Ben's face when he does that, though.Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433254398377357737noreply@blogger.com
