Power Struggles

Power struggles?
Rachel, are you having power struggles with Juliet already? Is her stubborn streak starting to show? You're not alone. Write about how Juliet is asserting her independence and the struggles that it causes. Write now.


How could I not write immediately?!  Baby Weekly Journal is constantly imploring me to write now.  It's kind of amusing.  BUT if you could see all the posts that I haven't done (the ones that just have the question and not any answer yet) you would know that I am taking them seriously, if a little disorganized-ly.

This does remind me of something Juliet does when she gets frustrated.  I've mostly seen this when she is in her high chair and she wants whatever we are eating (watermelon and raspberries seem to be her favorites) - she tenses her whole body up, clenches both fists and shakes them quickly.  Auntie Lauren affectionately dubbed her Katie Ka-boom after the Animaniacs character that would get so mad she would explode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Animaniacs_characters).  Gulp.  This doesn't bode well for our teen years, does it?
