Shew, Discipline!

Y'all. Disciplining is harddd. I know, I know, it only gets harder, etc. But, shew! William was such a good baby until like 3 months ago! Not that he is bad now, but he is definitely showing his likes and dislikes a little stronger! His favorite way to react when you tell him something he doesn't like? Throw whatever is in his sight. Toys, pacis, food, etc. Exhausting. We tried popping for a while, but I swear, he just doesn't care. And it makes us feel terrible. So, on to time out! He is literally depressed by time out. He just cries or looks around, looking at what he is missing. It is working better than I thought it would. Let's hope it continues!

Tuesday night, Robbie fixed dinner (whooo hoooo!!) While it was cooking, William had a few Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde moments...completely happy and normal one minute, and then mad the next!! 

See us all lovingly sitting together on the sofa?? Happy?

Then the next second, tears while in time out. Time out was because of throwing his beloved toys around.

After a LONGGG two minutes, time out is over and he wants his Squigz out. The rule is, all other toys have to be put up before Squigz come out. He very nicely helped clean up.

He had so much fun playing with the Squigz, and then helping me clean them back up!

And thennn, back to craziness. Stalling going upstairs for his bath/bedtime! Putting on Mama's boots and not wanting to take them off! "Mama boots! Mama boots!"

This little boy is a mess, and definitely keeps us guessing, but he is sooo much fun! One day all of this hard work will pay off, right!?!? ;)
