Headbangers Ball

The title of this post is completely misleading - I never watched this show when it was on MTV (I'm pretty sure that we didn't even have cable tv when this show was on). And, I do not like the kind of music that was featured on said show.

That said, it's a perfect description of what happens when our little ones get very tired or frustrated. Jack used to do this when he was under one. He would get upset and then sit on the floor and bang his forehead on the floor -- hard. It seriously freaked me out - especially when he did it on the hardwood floors. All I could think was that he was causing irreparable damage to his brain and that child services would somehow know and come knocking at my door.

I was hoping that this habit would skip Spence since we hadn't seen him do this to date. But alas, I watched him do a slow version of this move this evening. Poor little guy was so tired that he started plopping his head on the floor. Fortunately, we were in the boys' room which is carpeted and fortunately, he didn't bang his head, but more placed it on the carpet a few times. Hoping that this doesn't become habit like it was with Jack.
