Two-Year-Old Runaway Wannabe

The other day Miriam was very angry with me because I wouldn't let her wander the house with her toothbrush in her mouth. I know, I spoil all of my kids' fun. After we put the toothbrush back she stomped over to the front door, and in her sternest voice said, "Bye, Mom. Wanna go Sampa's [Grandpa's] house. Bye!" Aren't kids usually older when they first threaten to run away? Miriam has definitely learned at an early age that it's often more fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
