Sarah is a joy to be around, even though she is a stubborn little toddler. She knows what she does and does not want, even at a very young age. From a very young age she started to assert her authority on the family with baby tantrums. Language and verbal communication is not yet necessary for Sarah. Even though she is too young to speak, she communicates well. She has developed some words to communicate like no, up, this and that.
Non verbal communication has come easily for Sarah. she has a huge frown with furrowed brows if she does not get what she wants. Even at her young age, if she does not get what she wants, she has a tantrum. The transition to toddler is actually marking an exciting stage of development.
Tantrums started much earlier with Sarah. Charlotte really did not have too many tantrums, Sarah on the other hand is the Queen of them and has been since she was one.
