PS Has your sister read this yet? *grin*
Sorry! I seem to have missed this when I was looking through the other day!
I giggled all the way through your reminiscences. There are times when I'm convinced that your sister is a genius and that the evidence was there since babyhood. I think we all have cringeworthy stories from our attempts to learn parenting, or sisterhood, or being an auntie. It's what makes it all fun!
....I looked back as I was stomping off to the kitchen to refill her cup, and she had thrown herself all dramatically off to one side. But the seat bit of the bouncer she was on stopped her actually really going anywhere. But she still stayed like that, body lolled to one side, head thrown back in anger, now crying so hard she isn't actually breathing. The redness in her face brightening by the second as her body shook with what would've been more sobs if she weren't actually so upset that she wasn't breathing.
I was terrified, but I didn't dare give her the cup back again still empty. I didn't want to see what heights a move like that might take the tantrum to. So I just RAN to the kitchen, and filled her cup up (she drank like a water/juice mixture). And then I RAN back to the dining room where I'd been working/watching her and she'd been playing.
She's in the exact position she was in when I ran to the kitchen. Still shaking with unheard sobs. Still not breathing literally because she is just that angry. She had started to turn blue. I do not understand how babies can do this so easily, but I think biologically it shouldn't be allowed. My heart pretty much stopped when I saw her face. I was so scared. So, less concerned with returning her sippy cup to her, I ran up to pull her out of her bouncer. I was thinking 'what do I do?!' (to get her to start breathing again) and I'm pretty sure I screamed it out loud a couple of times too. When I reached her and started to pick her up, she sits up, looks at me, sees her sippy cup, takes it back, and starts drinking out of it. When it turns out it's not empty anymore, she immediately relaxes, and goes back to happily playing and giggling. Like none of it had ever happened.
So inconsequential to her, when it practically still haunts me. Babies.
(Hindsight, age, and more experience says go and fill up a new cup and trade them out. Well, screw you hindsight).
My "favorite" memory from her horse rocker/bouncer was that she'd been playing in it for a bit and DID NOT want out, but demanded her sippy cup. So I got her juice, and man she must've been really thirsty and I just hadn't realized. She downed that thing so fast. Then a couple moments later she forgot it was empty. She kept trying to drink from it and every time she didn't get anything she got angrier and angrier. I kept asking her to give me her sippy cup so I could refill it- but as 14 y/o me learned that afternoon, there is no reasoning with a pissed off 12-18m/o baby (can't remember exactly). I mean in general there is no reasoning with a baby, but there is especially no reasoning with a pissed off baby.
She even knew the sign language for more, and she knew how to ask, with signs, for more when her cup was empty by then. But she was already too angry at her cup for being empty to hear me saying "let me get you more" while doing the sign language for more. Whenever I tried to take her sippy out of her hands she screamed in upset horror and moved it away from my hands. It terrified me, because the way she screamed sounded like I was seriously hurting her or something, just trying to take the cup from her.
I eventually did give up explaining the getting you more process and thought to take her to the fridge with me and show her the juice so she'd let me refill her cup. Me attempting to take her out of the bouncer was an even worse offense than the cup that dared be empty. She started flailing her whole body around so I couldn't pick her up. I'm just sitting there, having no idea what on earth is happening or how to fix it. She's now beet red, and her whole face is wet from snot and tears and anger at the way the world had failed her.
So, I got the juice from the fridge and showed it to her. At this point she's crying so hard she is essentially just screaming in frustrated anger. She wanted NOTHING to do with the juice I was showing her. How DARE I show her juice?! And her tantrum reflected her general anger at the existence of juice that was not currently in her cup.
And then I was officially over it. I stood up and basically pried the cup out of her pissed off herculean grip on it, and stomped off to the kitchen to refill her cup.
The noise she made in reaction to that moment was unearthly. No creature, however frightening and deadly in your current imagination, could even come close to emitting the horrifying noise my sis had in that moment.
Yeah and my sister was a picky baby. She didn't like being laid on the floor, and she'd scream-cry until she was red and then blue when you tried to put her down. So the bouncer helped because she could be upright but I could still do my chores....Or make her a bottle... that was a big one.
On top of the rocker she also had a rocking horse that had like a saddle, so she could sit in it and not fall off. That was her freaking favorite, and I don't often come across ones like the one she had, but I also recommend it alongside the bouncer you have here. It was a rocking horse, but also a bouncer. Where the circular one she'd sit in and play and hang out in basically, her little horse bouncer she actually played with, like made it bounce and rock a bunch and it'd always make her crack up laughing. She liked the circular one because she could turn herself whatever direction she wanted as well, which to her was important because she had control...even as a baby/toddler she had the same strong personality she has now. XD
They really do, don't they?
Vtech make some really neat interactive learning games and toys for toddlers and kids.
I remember how much my nephews loved them. Then I blinked and they're both adults. Fond memories though, and these are much more hi-tech than they had.
