Yesterday I watched e at her new house. We walked over to the park, where she enjoyed playing on the new-to-her equipment. But when it was time to leave she erupted into a tantrum that lasted all the way home and longer, maybe thirty minutes all together. Crying, grabbing at my ear and spectacles, thrashing around on the concrete deck then in the house, quite impressive. Finally I thought to offer her a mini peanut butter cup, which caught her attention, and she calmed down. After lunch, she napped for three hours.
Today we're at my house, and so far have had a peaceful time. At the park she had me put her in the swing and give her a push, then told me to sit on the nearby bench, perhaps because that's what the other adult present was doing as he watched his charges. Her head began to droop and her eyes closed as she finished eating lunch, but I guess I didn't get her into bed quickly enough. That was about 75 minutes ago, and she is still talking to herself, apparently wide awake.
