I remember when Jamie first went to Saudi Arabia and left me with the twins, just past their 2nd birthday. I had a hell of a week where (1) a pitcher of tea was carried (poured) from the fridge down the carpetted hallway and ended at the stairs (2) almost an entire gallon of milk was spilled in the dining room (soured carpet is the worst smell) (3) sliced cheese was unwrapped, partially smashed into shoes and carpet and then smeared all over the TV...needless to say the kids learned a new word and then learned to climb the stairs to go to their bedrooms to keep from learning more new colorful words!! Hang in there, it really will get better! :DMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574835804260529546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10837687.post-70634069991968404012010-03-30T10:54:17.349-04:002010-03-30T10:54:17.349-04:00Ooh yeah, been there.

The good news is ...What was he hoping for... snow?<br /><br />The good news is that you are in this together, and just when you think you can't take any more, he'll pass through this rough place into something entirely new. <br /><br />Have you read the Touchpoints book by Dr. Brazelton? There is an edition for ages 3-6 that I found really useful. (Also useful to realize that moments of friction or acting out can be signs of a jump in brain development. As a teacher, I think you'll like the approach, Abby.)<br /><br />Good luck, and here's hoping he never finds the food coloring.<br /><br />;) -JuliaMidwest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095161837187839812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10837687.post-63165050495199977422010-03-29T13:46:24.393-04:002010-03-29T13:46:24.393-04:00That's 3/4 of a container of cornstarch scatte...That's 3/4 of a container of cornstarch scattered across the room. Every step of Linus's development, right when we slip into the illusion that we've gotten the hang of things, he changes it up. Toddlerhood is still something that we haven't gotten a wrangle on, though. I can hardly imagine what he has in store for us when we get this part figured out.Cheetahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899015250870984658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10837687.post-35457861838539675962010-03-29T12:47:40.663-04:002010-03-29T12:47:40.663-04:00There are 3 women in my office...all 3 of them had...There are 3 women in my office...all 3 of them had tales to tell about their children challenges this past weekend.

Maybe you'll have an unexpectedly smooth Monday instead!corriehttp://www.billandcorrie.com/clognoreply@blogger.com
