\"\"<\/a>Ian on the go<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

We are in for it! The last few weeks Ian has been giving us a glimpse into the terrible 2’s…can it start as young as 15 months?! Wow….my sweet Ian has been turned into a toddler all of a sudden.\u00c2\u00a0 Example #1 – all because he didn’t get his way – one minute he was standing right next to me, the next minute, he was lying on the ground crying, partially screaming.\u00c2\u00a0 Example #2 – he didn’t want to go to bed, so he throws his head back and arches his back and cries\/screams. But the best part was when he would quiet down in between screaming – when I wasn’t looking! Little booger would cry when I was looking at him, and when he realized I wasn’t looking, he would stop.\u00c2\u00a0 The second you give him what he wants, it’s all over as if nothing happened.<\/p>\n

Well, this momma doesn’t play that game! The boys will learn that If I said no, I meant no, and screaming isn’t going to change my mind.\u00c2\u00a0 Also, if I can’t hold them this very second because I have to hold their brother who just smacked his head on the wall, they will have to wait. Even though I know this will mostly likely result in one or both of them throwing themselves on the floor and crying.\u00c2\u00a0 I am only 1 person<\/p>\n

Then there’s Hayden…Jonathan was in their room putting their PJ’s on while I was fixing dinner and all of a sudden I hear this yelp, and it wasn’t from the boys.\u00c2\u00a0 Hayden bit Jonathan’s foot – hard! The boy has like 12 teeth, so he can bite down. He bit Ian’s finger one day…but in Hayden’s defense, Ian put his finger in his mouth.<\/p>\n

The boys have also been trying our patience lately…just to see what they can get away with.\u00c2\u00a0 We have started using time-outs with them after they get 3 warnings.\u00c2\u00a0 Since they are 1, they get a 1 minute time out.\u00c2\u00a0 By doing this, we are hoping they learn cause and effect and that their actions have consequences – yes, we are starting them young, but that’s the best time to start.<\/p>\n

I’m sure this is just a glimpse into what we are going to go through when they are older, but I’m ready for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
