Could you please elaborate more on what that means?
Thx.
OP-- Well, she has always been a baby who can ramp up to very upset quickly. She still hates being in the car sometimes (pacifier helps- but we hate depending on it to keep her from getting totally hysterical). Sometimes she has a similar reaction to being in the stroller. This is inconvenient when you are already at the park. Also, my husband works from home and she was demanding him a lot yesterday. He kept his distance and let the nanny deal with things. Over the past few months, she has figured out how to do this very dramatic cry when she wants something that we aren't giving her. One thing that really helps is making use of the new verbal skills, but we can't always understand her or give her the crazy thing she has decided she wants.
We are first time parents and we are learning how to deal with this new toddler stage. Mostly, I love having a toddler and find it much more rewarding than the infant stage.
