Tyler has no idea who's hand he is shaking. But he got a cool thing to put his degree in!

So, as my good friend so kindly put it...."I've memorized all of Emma's favorites for March!" I realize it has been quite some time since I've posted anything. Nothing too exciting has been going on. And, I've been working on these digital books for mother's day that have to be done by friday! Nothing like waiting until the last minute! Wish me luck. I'll get back in the swing of things soon!
P.S. I actually regret more that I haven't been keeping up on everyone else's blogs! I look forward to catching up!
My friend does this on her blog, and I thought it was such a good idea. I hope she doesn't mind me stealing her idea. I just thought it would be fun, especially to look back and see how things change from month to month.

Finding easter eggs

....but after a while she warmed up to the idea and started having fun.
We are getting ready for the egg hunt where Emma got NO eggs. But a cute little boy saw Emma crying(during one of her tantrums) and thought it was because she didn't get an egg. So, he gave her one of his eggs. So cute!
The fact that she got no loot didn't bother her, because she got to go on the cow train. By herself, mind you! She was brave, I was not! I was so worried the whole time that she would try to climb out! But she did great!
Although it was crazy busy and really cold, we managed to have some fun. But, I don't think we'll be returning next year.So Friday Emma threw the biggest temper tantrum to date. It was bad. We were at a restaurant, and we had to get it to go because Emma wouldn't calm down. I thought, "Well, that was weird, but I'm glad that's over." Well, it wasn't. She threw a giant tantrum yesterday, and again today. I don't know what to do. I feel like something must be wrong with her. Something must be bothering her. But people keep telling me its just her age. It mostly happens when she wants to walk. But its like something makes her mad, and then it just escalates until she can't calm down. She is completely inconsolable. It really makes me sad! So, I need your help. Any advice on how to handle temper tantrums with a 20 month old. Its hard because Emma can talk pretty well, and understand, but there is still a major communication barrier. I'm at a loss. I'll try anything! (Except violence, as that was my brothers solution.)
Last Wednesday we got together with our cousins and colored easter eggs. It was a lot of fun. I didn't know how into it Emma would be, but she loved dropping the eggs in the dye , and waiting for them to come out a different color. We had to strap her down , though, so she would stay put. That girl is always going! I have always liked coloring easter eggs. It is one of my favorite things about easter. Being able to watch Emma enjoy it made it even more fun! I tried to get Tyler to do it with me before we ever had Emma, but now he has no excuse!
At one point we had to pull out the big guns, and get Emma some popcorn. This was the smallest bucket they had, and of course, it was ridiculously priced, but it did the trick!
Soon after getting the popcorn, Emma decided it would be easier just to eat the popcorn like this.
