I really want to get one of these for Kuen - awesome commercial, Costco. But I'll abstain from doing what this lady did with hers. Dang.
Nature is cool. But which came first?

Does anyone else find their kid's tantrums completely adorable? I know people don't find Kuen's tantrums adorable but they must find their own children's tantrums adorable, right?

| From an earlier tantrum..still adorable. |
Kuen was throwing a really epic tantrum over several hilariously minor things:
- daddy sitting in mommy's chair (while mommy was nowhere around, of course)
- at dinner her milk wasn't in her( newly favorite) Starbucks cup
- she wanted to watch Barefoot Contessa instead of football
- she wanted to wear her Hello Kitty backpack instead of eating dinner
- she couldn't use her froggy towel after bathtime (it's too small)
Gabe and I could not stop ourselves from just gazing at our child crying, thrashing and whirling mid-meltdown and all we could say was, "But it's just so adorable."

Before kids, seeing a tantrum ranked right up there with major dental procedures or running in to someone whose name you've forgotten on my list of things that make me uncomfortable. Now, it's just so endearing.
