There are more photos of Angelina Jolie, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh (plus whoever that is inside Angie’s belly, hee!) when they went to the store for a walk this past weekend, you must see them.
Shiloh appears to have been crying after falling down and hurting herself. Ah, that fun age where they constantly get scrapes and bumps!
(Thanks, Lucy!)

Sophie, my comment seems to have disappeared – it’s not even under moderation ;-) Once I had 9 posts under moderationn simultaneously, so not to worry.
This is just me imagining Angelina’s thinking while walking to/from the corner store with her four under-7 kids and her 2 nannies. “Thank the Goddess I have 2 nannies to help make this outing with the kids safe and possible. It’s terrible to have them cooped up in the house just because of the craziness by the paparazzis, overeager fans, and potential stalkers/kidnappers. I wish my mom was here, she helped me so much with Maddox – there weren’t as many paps then. I am just so thankful for my nannies, and that we have 6 eyes and 6 arms to keep the kids safe.”
I believe it was Demi Moore who started the trend of 1 nanny per child; she & Bruce have 3 kids and they each had a nanny. Heidi Klum has continued that practice with a nanny for each kid (4 I think), even when her mom is part of the outing. Mia Farrow had nannies for her 14 kids when they were younger (but not 1 on 1). If somebody did research, we’d find that most Hollywood women actors/execs etc. have nannies for the simple reason that they can’t work while taking care of the kids – unless we think women shouldn’t have the choice of working AND being mothers too. Working mothers of all kinds have nannies, au pairs, helpers, babysitters, housekeepers. Sometimes they’re called Nana, aunt, cousin, older sister/brother, neighbor, childcare center.
Used to be only royalty & gentility, captains of industry, and the superwealthy class – including entertainers – had nannies. Just like the Mercedes Benz, Louis Vuitton, Christian Laboutin, and other luxury designer goods, the middle class embraced nannies too – after all, if a couple were both well-paid professionals, they could afford it.
Security of rich kids (Italy & the Philippines were notorious in the past) is a serious thing. I’m very glad the Jolie-Pitts have hired nannies & bodyguards to protect their precious four.

My comment just disappeared – didn’t even say “under moderation.” Tried fixing it at my end, I’ll have to check with Sherry.
Sophie, not to worry – I once had 9 posts under moderation simultaneously. All except 1-2 were eventually approved.

(I originally posted the above on 3/24/08 but it disappeared due to some computer glitch.)
About babies/toddlers pulling away from their moms/caretakers. I was so scared when the baby I was babysitting (I was 12 years old at the time) arched his back and almost flipped out of my arms. He’d been thrashing while I tried to rock him, and crying a furious storm. I had already checked his diapers, checked that a safety pin or other pointy thing wasn’t sticking him, gave him a bottle, but nothing was working. I even called my mom whose only advice was to keep rocking him. A long time later, he eventually fell asleep. i don’t know if it was colick or what. I had similar experiences with other babies I babysat, and with my own kids.
As for toddlers, young children, older children – it’s been my experience that when what I’ll diplomatically call “differences of opinion” happens between them and their parents, it’s not unusual for the kids to express their displeasure by pulling away, scowling, crying, shouting, running away, in general throwing a tantrum. That doesn’t mean that an outsider can conclude that the child(ren) are being abused by the parents. It’s possible, but a lot more investigation and evidence would have to happen first.

I agree about the pulling away. My oldest almost always wanted comfort, but my youngest gets really upset sometimes and when you try to comfort her, she’ll say “leave me a-yone!” and run away to hide in another room. But then a few minutes later, she’s ready for cuddles. Other times she wants the cuddling right away. It really depends – toddlers are VERY moody creatures, you never know what’s going to make them angry or offend them. I don’t think Shiloh struggling to get down means that she has any issues or makes her any different.
Maybe it was as simple as, yes I hurt my knee Mom, but I want to get back down with my sister and brothers and run!

OMGoodness! Sophia
Out of all those pics that’s all you saw?? How about the fact that she managed to calm her down expectly in seconds? She had her go from crying to smiling to pulling faces at the paps.
And I guess Gwen Stefani’s son must actually hate his Mum too, as he actually pulled away and run away from her in NY recently. He’s also photographed pulling her hair and generally throwing a tantrum. So maybe their relationship is crap too!?
Terrible two’s??? It happens! If you have a child and it hasn’t happened to you then you are blessed.
