A true 2

WOW talk about 2 year old personalities. Robert has them all right now.

"NO NO NO" "NO I don't want that" "I want thaaaaaaaaat". Tantrums wow kicking walls, throwing things when he is angry. Hitting everything and everybody when he is upset or angry.

Caleb didn't go this far into the 2 year old personality. But, then again his whole life experiences has been different coming from a Chinese orphanage.

We are trying to teach him that when he gets angry he needs to stop and take a deep breath (0r 2). Of course consequences like: no ice cream after supper because you didn't eat yours and then dumped your plate on the table/floor; no lollipops because you made a bad choice is not listening to your teachers today and had to go to time out ___ times; no movies today because ___________. As hard as some of these are for mommy perseverance in these consequences will hopefully teach him right manners, good morals values, how to treat others and in some instances how to treat himself.

Todays goal for him: make good choices in school today, be nice to his friends (what they call classmates), and listen to Mrs. Janie and Mrs. Keri. If I get a good report when I pick him up he gets to have to prize desired LOLLIPOP.
