SUCH A SWEET FACE

This weekend my sweet boy became the kid other parents protect their sweet little angels from.  It was a sad sight to watch as we went to three birthday parties in two days.  While my little guy is super social and always happy; he loves to hit.  And, unfortunately at almost 1 year old, time-out and the word no don’t hold much weight in his mind.  I am exhausted (as is his dad) and kind of at a loss.  In the words of my little guy; “eye, yi, yi!”

Discipline

It’s official… my little one knows the meaning of “no”!!  Tonight, when I got home, he was in rare form.  He would grunt, kick his legs, and puff out his little tummy while growling… all in protest of sitting still.  After his bath, while I was changing him, he kept kicking out his legs as a sign that he was not happy getting dressed.  When I would say a stern” no”, he would quickly turn his head to his left, roll his eyes, and look away.  He’d wait 3 seconds (or so), look back at me for a reaction and then proceed to kick his chubby legs again.  This went on for a total of 7 minutes (and approximately 10 head turns).  Oy!  Help!
