Introducing The Fits.
Jun 12, 2007 A cute little trick that Phoebe learned from my nephew is how to throw a royal-ass fit. Her typical fits involved much crying and foot stomping. The new, improved Fits are works of art.
There is screaming, howling, crying, flailing of arms, and, if we're really lucky? Her face turns purple.
Charlie's decided to get in on this action, too.
I really can't express what a joy it is, in the morning, when they've both decided that they really just can't take it ANY. MORE. and decide to each have a Fit. A Fit to end all Fits. Charlie screams at Phoebe, Phoebe screams back, and the adults run for cover.
Unfortunately, there is no calming them down from this. I mean, they're THAT good. While I have yet to capture Charlie hooting and grunting on video, this? This I think I can capture. For no other reason than for the entire world to FEEL MY PAIN.
Now, I really must run. There is a Fit in progress -- I must go shoot myself.

Can't WAIT to see that one.
Seriously. I'm waiting.
And I'm tired, so please hurry.
But you're not going to record the sound ... are you?
I'm glad my computer has a mute button. (In case you do decide to post a fit.)
I want to say "you just have to ignore it", but it's a lot easier in theory when I'm here with no kids to try that on, and you're there with them screaming. :P So I won't actually try to give any advice. Just know that I feel for you.
You have got to post The Fits. Please. And the hooting and grunting, if you can manage that as well. ;)
I totally grabbed some footage. It's only of Phoebe though. I still have to capture the magic with Charlie. Gimme a few days, and I should have it off the camera and ready to upload.
WITH sound. :)
So, as promised, here is the link:
