[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have meltdowns?

Is she gentle w/the dog?[/quote]

Few enough that I can count them on one hand, but they've happened. 
1. There was the first one, outside Crate & Barrel. I don't remember what started it, but we spent almost an hour outside the doors of the store with her screaming hysterically and me waiting her out.
2. There was the one at the opening of a friend's store that I wasn't even sure was a tantrum (but was assured it was) where she laid down on her stomach on the floor and stayed there, silent, for about ten minutes. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there making sure nobody stepped on her. Eventually she just stood up and started walking around, perfectly fine. 
3. There was the one on the bus, when an old lady gestured for me to take her off her seat so the lady could sit down. So I put her on my lap, and she scream-cried hysterically, "That was MY seat," for the rest of the ride. Lesson learned: the baby thinks she's a real person. Ever since then, I ask her if she'd like to sit on my lap so the other person can sit down. When she says no, which she sometimes does, I give up my seat. 
4. The time we were walking somewhere, found a spot with raised pebbles, she was walking on them for a while, then I insisted we keep going and took her off the pebbles. Lesson: give warning about it almost being time to leave someplace she's having fun, and include what she has to look forward to at the next place.

Yes, very gentle with the dog. Her second word was "Gentle, gentle!" because that's what my grandmother and I constantly said to her every time she went to touch the dog. [/quote]
