cross-posted in baby lounge . . .
And where do you draw the line? DD is starting to get REALLY opinionated. She can have a major meltdown over the particular cup or bib she wants, the way I cut (or don't cut) her banana, etc. But, it's never the same thing that sends her over the edge. Yesterday, she had a fit because she wanted the duck bib. Today, I put the duck bib on her and she wailed. Some days it's the purple cup, some days it's the blue one, etc. You get the idea. I don't want to create a spoiled toddler by catering to her every whim, but I don't know how much of this is just her developmental stage, and how much of it is being willfully choosy. I'll cross-post this in the toddler lounge. Thanks for any thoughts you might have!
