Tanties are pretty normal around this age though, and DD is basically the same - she is working on her eye teeth so she's not in the best of moods these days, but the tanties can't completely be blamed on that, she's just not in a good mood to start with.. LOL

We try not to laugh at her tanties sometimes but god its hard... I find them quite amusing myself. But we do try and help her, if something is stuck and she wants it undone, we'll help, or we'll try to lighten the mood and say "oooh silly thing!! won't come off/apart/undone" whatever, or if all else fails, we'll put her on our lap and watch an episode of in the night garden or something!!! lol

Sometimes she does it because she is hungry/tired/thirsty too - so we'll offer a drink, a snack, or early to bed!
