Height, Weight and Strength Advantages... CHECK!
...and in this corner, weighing in at 17lbs, 10oz, and known to outpower her parents, Margo "MarMon" LaDouce.Cranky periods have taken on a whole new dimension these days, because Margo is getting stronger and stronger. Where she once loved being on her change table, a place of solace, she now gets very angry/frustrated that she is not allowed to roll and crawl. A mere roadbump a few weeks ago, her new found strength from hours of crawling is making it hard -- and I mean really hard -- to make it through a diaper change without breaking a sweat.
Margo is without a doubt advanced for her age, and we're happy for that, but the big question now is whether she will keep this advantage in check or become a bully. She has the height, weight, strength and dexterity to bowl over others at play activities. Will she learn to play nice, or will she invade Afghanistan and then keep the blitz going over to Iraq for vague reasons.
I think it will be okay. I think. I hope. Problem is... if she does become a bully, she's so damn cute that authorities probably won't step in. Dangerous. Imagine if George Bush looked like a black lab puppy. He would be unstoppable!
Thanks to Governor Schwarzenegger for supplying the photo from a previous career.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
2:30 p.m.Ohooooo, that is so funny.
I can see Margo plowing over other kids. I guess she wants to get to what she is going for before someone else gets there. That's one way to do it.
She might be a ruler.
When Olivier was in Montesorey, his teacher said, "that he definitely was a leader.
Well he still is, in a lot of ways.
