Tending Camdan

We had the delightful experience of tending our youngest grandson last Saturday evening while Edward and Tiffany took their older boys to see "Seussical the Musical". Camdan is 16 or 17 months old and already shows a strong personality.

He also seems to have two settings right now: (1) pleasant, cooperative, fun to play with and (2) angry, destructive, "run for your lives". It is especially aparent when you feed him. He wants grownup food almost all the time. When he wants more of something its a grand scale yelled request, often with shouts and tears.

Then, as soon as he gets the thing he wants, he's all smiles and controlled temper. You'd never guessed that he had just thrown a gran mal demonstration about not getting what he hhad wanted. It will be so nice when he can talk.
He's also in that stage when food is to be EXPERIENCED rather than just eaten. Thus, you'll see him in a mask as long as he's around easily handled food.
