Anya has been having a rough time adjusting to being 4. I don't know if it's her birthday or hearing that Baz gets away with some things "because he's a baby" or what, but she's been exhibiting some regressive (is that the right word?) behavior lately. It started with baby talk, which was tolerable, but irritating and escalated to a handful of pee accidents. She's also had a serious of MAJOR tantrums....we're talking full-on screaming, grunting, acting like an animal. Clearly, those stem from control issues, which are typical for her age, but still not fun. Thank goodness for my fellow mommies who are having similar issues and can keep me from worrying!

During the non-tantrum times, she's really developing her imagination. She loves playing dress up (or being naked like animals) and creates the most intricate storylines! This evening, she was being a doggy and had to hide under the piano with her giraffe to avoid the storm that was going on in the rest of the living room. She also plays veterinarian a lot also, even though she INSISTS that she wants to be a dentist when she grows up.
