THE WEAN

Seems that Tobin's got a slight attitude beneath that smiling facade. Kristen's begun the weaning process to get him onto regular milk and off of, well, her. Tobin's not all too pleased about this development though. She's down to nursing him once in the morning and once in the evening before bed. But all that time in between has brought out the beast.

He throws fits not to be matched by anyone. For a 1 year old to throw one of those classic looking kicking and screaming, full body tantrums is unheard of. It's a sight. He sits next to her, pulling at her shirt in defiance of the bottle he's got in his other hand. The real shocker came yesterday afternoon when he was beginning one of his I-wanna-nurse tantrums. He was sitting in Kristen's lap starting to cry, after getting a "no" from pulling on her shirt. He looked right at her, took his binky out of his mouth, and threw it at her. We of course were dying laughing, but quickly realized this can't be a good trend.

He apparently did it to her 2 or 3 more times yesterday. So great. We've got our smiling little 1 year old throwing his binky at his mother because he wants to nurse and not take the bottle we're trying to give him. Things are shaping up nicely...
