Day 198 14/1/12 Power Games

We spent all day trying to get a move on today and made it it Mum's house in the afternoon ready for the big do tomorrow. Michael has decided he doesn't like to be in his car seat. He prefers rolling about the car and bouncing on Rocio. In fact in general he seems to think he is in charge these days and will try to get his own way by crying. He does the same with his cot when he doesn't want to be in there. So he caused a great fuss most of the way to Mum's, except when Rocio took him out of the chair for feeding. I'm not sure if he was really hungry or he has just worked out this as a 'pick me up' tactic. We can't let him win these power games but it is hard to let him cry, especially when driving on the motorway with a headache.
All was magically better of course when we got there. Despite how upset he looks when he's not getting his way he changes instantly when the situation changes.
Here he is demonstrating his baby walker skills. Slowed down a lot from his normal self by the carpet.
