See the wheels turnin'

Occurrence during bath time tonight:
Abi standing in the bathtub against the side, yelling happily. Mommy says, "Abi you have to sit down in the tub so you don't fall." Mommy takes Abi's hands and helps Abi stand upright so she can sit. Instead she stands there a solid 10 seconds smiling and waving her hands before she plops (she finds this funny because it makes a big splash). "Thank you Abi." Abi proceeds to wrinkle up her nose and lean forward (two indicators a little fit is about to be thrown) but as she starts to put her face down she realizes she's in the tub and there's water... Abi sits upright, wrinkles her nose up, bares her two teeth and yells. Mommy understands Abi did NOT want to sit down but appreciated the thinking through and decision NOT to throw a fit in the tub.

Yes, Abi throws "fits". This includes wrinkling up the face, throwing herself down and burying her face in the carpet and yelling. This occurs approximately 2-3 times/week. Our friend Josh was over for dinner on Wednesday and he found it very entertaining. We tend to laugh at it, tell Abi she's fine and move along. :)
