Arwen's Weblog

In some ways, Arwen seems to be my easiest baby. Perhaps I'm an easier mother the third time around. She is easy in that she is happy. When Arwen gets tired or hungry, all she really does is come to me with a little bit of fuss in her.

But she gets ornery. Sitting behind Seth in their double stroller, she pulls his hair for a reaction, and then smiles. According to the nursery attendants at church, she extends a toy to the other little ones but pulls it back before they can reach it, then repeats.

She is temperamental too. It flares especially when something is taken out of her hand, like Seth's sippie cup. It often comes out of her in a piercing scream. My mother's father used to say only dim people don't get mad.
