My dd is almost 20 months, and is starting to act weird. Things like laughing one minute, to screaming the next, wanting you to pick her up and when you do she covers her eyes and screams (although you can so see her peeking through her fingers to watch you!) she will bring me a book or a toy and get me to play with her, and when I do she screams and does the "eye covering thing" again. This goes for about about EVERYTHING in her life in the last couple days. Is this what it is, or is there something else?

She will get so worked up that she will get actual tears, but if you look at her and do a funny face she starts laughing... such a faker/drama queen!!! Is this the way it's going to be, or I am missing something?

Thanks

Hannah is the same way, only she started at 18 months. I think she will be a LOT easier than Natalie was though, and from the sounds of it I don't think you'll have that hard of a time either. Natalie on the other hand, was a little TERROR from the day she turned 2 up until the past few months (she's 5 now). Hannah is usually happy & playful, and she also laughs if we make a funny face. I think it just depends on their personality...

I think it was around 18 mos. She has not been real bad yet. But I am starting to hear that they get worse at 3 so that may be it for us.
