This one is short. As we arrived in Tennessee to visit family, it became apparent that the trade off for a pleasant and whine free drive was a visit filled, at least initially, with nothing but crying and fussing. However, the whining and fussing were reserved for the two people most excited to see her: the grandmothers. For some reason, as if the little one just new, she saved her most pitiful crying and shrieks of pain for Granny and Grammy, the two people most likely to be devastated by such behavior. The little one loved the dogs, tolerated being held by other family members, but broke down into hysterics when either of our moms tried to hold her and do some bonding.
It was pretty heart breaking, but at least it only lasted a few days. Luckily, sprout finally warmed up to everyone, probably realizing that those two women in particular were likely behind any good parenting decision the wife and I have made in the past few months. Funny though that a 6 month old can master torment and spite so young. Guess the pay back starts now.
