Life isn't easy...
Laura has reached a stage where I have a pretty good idea how she will respond to adversity. She is generally calm and mild-mannered but from time to time we get a glimpse of a melt down. When I say melt down, it's a mad face, angry tone, a little yelling, and sometimes tears. This is pretty typical at 4 years old.
On the other hand, Ryan is completely different (in comparison with Laura at age 1). Recently, he has become aggressive, vocal, and squirmy. We never saw that with Laura. The sheer volume of his screams can best be described as "Bloody Murder." I hope this is a passing phase.
Here are a few clips of the kids facing adversity. Laura riding her bike uphill (angry) and climbing the slide backwards (not angry). Ryan is trying to pull down the balloon (good thing he is content with not being able to get to it).
