Pout; Pout; Let it all Out

So, Chad has made up these versions of real songs that he sings to the kids in certain situations...which is really funny when you realize his vocal ability. He started when Colton was a baby, and the tradition has continued for Chase and Aiden. Whenever they are throwing a fit...he starts singing, "Pout; Pout...Let it all out...these are the things I can do without. (I believe this is from a Tears fo Fears song, if I am remembering correctly. It really goes, "shout, shout, let it all out...". Then if one of them has a "poopie", as we like to call it, he sings, "POOP, there it is...POOP, there it is." It really is quite funny. There are a couple more that I can't recall at the moment, and I'll spare you the words to read.

Speaking of pouting...Aiden has started throwing tantrums. Now, this is a first for me. Neither Colton or Chase were big tantrum throwers. I'm glad that she is my third, otherwise I would be less likely to just stare at her and laugh. It's not the tantrum itself that is so humerous, but the way that she throws it. She is very systematic in her tantrum throwing tactics. She is a pretty cautious individual...similar to Colton and the opposite of Chase. So, just hap-hazardly throwing herself on the floor is way too dangerous. She really doesn't want to hurt herself...her point is not that important to her, I guess. So, she very carefully gets on to the floor and slowly positions herself into the tantrum throwing position and then begins to kick and scream. It really is quite funny. The boys and I just watch her, and they kind of look at me with this, "is she serious?" look on their faces. She'll look up every now and then to see if we are watching. After I walk away, she gets up, dusts herself off, and comes to find me. Normally, it's over by this point. I'm waiting for it to happen in public. That should be fun.
