This is kind of a fun quiz.

What Is Your Toddler's Temperament??

So what kind of toddler do you have? Maya scored as an "Angel Toddler."

She scored as an "Angel Baby" when I did the baby quiz when she was an infant. I thought that was funny, and I even answered honestly about her meltdowns when I leave the room. Hmm

Angel toddler here too.

Before I opened the thread and just read the title, the first word that came to mind was Easy-Going. Lila is so happy and adaptable to any situation.

Kasen got Grumpy Toddler. It basically says let him do what he wants or he will get angry. Says that he is stubborn. Well, no surprise there.
I know Kasen isn't grumpy though. He is a happy boy, just not if you stop him from doing something he wants to do. Then he gets mad.

I got the Textbook Toddler.
Everyone with the "Angel Toddler" is lying to themselves, lol, just kidding!

Textbook Toddler
As in infancy, the Textbook Toddler is right on time with developmental milestones. You could say she does everything by the book. She's generally pleasant in social situations but can be shy at first with strangers. She's most comfortable in her own environment, but if outings are planned well, and you give her sufficient time and preparation, she won't have much trouble adapting to new surroundings. This is a child who loves routine and likes to know what's coming next.

You can develop a deeper understanding of your predictable, good-natured Textbook Toddler by following the Toddler Whisperer workshop. Featuring Parenting Expert Tracy Hogg, author of Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers (Ballantine Books), this four-lesson workshop will show you how to observe, listen and talk with (not at) your child, tune into her cues and anticipate her needs. Following Tracy's advice, which earned her the nickname "baby whisperer," you'll learn how to use routines and rituals to ease transitions, promote your child's development through encouragement and praise, and accept and appreciate her uniqueness. Head to Lesson One to get started!

Spirited Toddler
The Spirited Toddler is extremely active physically, often willful, and may be prone to temper tantrums. She is very social and curious and will point to objects and reach out for them and for other kids early on. This child is the consummate adventurer; she will have a go at anything and is very determined. She displays a great sense of achievement when she accomplishes something. At the same time, she needs very clear boundaries so that she doesn't act like a steamroller, trampling anyone or anything in her path. Once they start crying, Spirited Toddlers have stamina and staying power, so you're in for a long haul if you don't have a good routine going. Given good guidance and an outlet for her energy, however, a Spirited Toddler can become a leader and very accomplished in whatever area interests her.

That says it all. To a Tee. She is a HUGE handful...nothing like my other 3. We call her the Little Tornado.

I just love her.

Your siggy pic of her as "Wild Child" makes me laugh every time you post. She looks like a ton of fun!

aidan is the "angel toddler", he was an angel baby, too. it's totally true, too. I can do anything to that child's routine, and he's fine. Not a care in the world. I would say he's more "spirited" in that he's into EVERYTHING! and he does throw a complete fit if i take my cell phone or the remote control away. We also have a problem with the dvd player, I've finally just blocked it, i'm tired of having a control tug of war game going on

Mason was Angel toddler. I think it's because he is so easily adaptable to any situation. But, with him being the third, I think he is just so easygoing. He is a really good baby.
