April 12: Andrew has discovered a new approach to being unhappy: throwing himself on the floor. Sometimes he isn’t even unhappy…he’s just done being vertical. While we were traveling over the weekend, he would regularly stop walking and drop to the ground, spread eagle. Staring up at the ceiling, he would then begin inching his feet in a circle. Bryan or I would stand nearby to make sure he wasn’t going to trip up a fellow traveler or be run over by a beeping airport car. At one point, her rolled over onto his belly and began crawling down the hall. This seemed to amuse some tired travelers.
We’ve found that picking him up usually results in an unhappy boy, so if at all possible, we let him spend his quality time with the floor.
