The Drumstick




In these pictures (from May), Savanna had just eaten a Drumstick (remember those?). I have found she is much less messy when I give her a fudgesicle - she tears through those before they even have a chance to melt, but Drumsticks take a bit longer, I guess. In the top photo she has bubbles - that is my new form of distraction for her. Every parent has to learn the art of distraction, especially when you have one who throws tantrums! When she starts one of her tantrums that are simply unreasonable and uncontrollable (I think sometimes she forgets why she is upset when she has been screaming for a while), I just start blowing bubbles, and she immediately forgets and starts smiling and enjoying the bubbles. It's great!!
