Anyhow, after spending 70% of the trip in a car seat, she wasn't pleased with us. So this is how she looked a good portion of the trip:
So, we started to play the "don't smile" game with our lil grumpster. It's that great game parents play with pouting children where they repeatedly tell the child: "Don't smile...no, no...don't do it. Don't smile!" And then of course, the child ends up laughing and getting even angrier. Tess plays really well. This is as close as the stubborn cuss would get. She's squeezing her lips together tight and holding it back as best she can. She absolutely refused to show any teeth...she has 47 of them now if you weren't aware. It's our new favorite picture of her.
You'll notice a stuffed monkey in the picture. Apparently the monkey is Tess' BFF 4eva. We found on this trip that she would calm down a little if we gave her the monkey while she was in the seat. She would scream and scream and then when Jaime would give her the monkey, she would stop screaming and begin to whisper to the monkey and tell it all the horrible things we put her through.

What horrible parents. Thank goodness for the monkey, her only true friend.
