[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 465876, member: 1722"] I'm sure most of you have heard just how colicky and miserable Duckie was as a baby/toddler/preschooler/primary-aged child. She was both incorrigible and inconsolable. As an example, I offer her baptism. Another baby girl was baptised that day too... a sweet, quiet, cooing little girl who was all smiley and bright eyed. And then there was Duckie. She screamed all morning (started around 5:30AM), screamed in the car, screamed before and during the service. NON-STOP. (I used to carry ear plugs for days like this). Her screaming didn't stop until the priest dribbled the holy water on her head. She actually stopped mid-scream and turned her angry little head and gave the absolutely most dirty look to the priest (I think my cousin has a picture of Duckie and the priest, priceless.). She then fell asleep until the end of the service. She woke up in the car, screamed all the way home and throughout our little reception. They still talk about her baptism at this church (which is one of the reasons we changed parishes). But... that child was nursed, changed, held, loved, rocked, bounced, cooed at, read to, sung too, played with throughout. She just wasn't going to stop until she was good and ready. I carried my "bag of tricks" through kindergarten so my young child could be occupied when we were out in public. Now, I can tell you that this day stands out so much in my memory because it was one of only a handful of times other people were subjected to Duckie's difficult temperament for any extended period of time. The other times were also "had to do" times like the pharmacy or doctor's office. These parents are idiots. [/QUOTE]
