I know you look at this picture and think your yourself..how could this kid ever being anything but adorable but let me tell you something about this 15 1/2 month old boy named Max. In the past 2 weeks I think he is either really suffering form ear infection or Teething OR he is just coming into his own. I mean to say that he is getting pissed off when he can’t get his way. He is either throwing his head back and actually hitting his head into the wall or he is throwing himself on the floor kicking or he is just screaming. I am sure you all go through this as well but it feels like it came out of nowhere or maybe I am just tired. I try to speak to him and say things like:
1. I know you must be frustrated
2. You know that screaming in not the best way to communicate .
My newest one is ” You know we don’t do that because Mommy and you have talked about this before”. I am not sure if any of them work but after a long day of a fussy ear ache, teething and fussy toddler, I think anything is better than losing my shit. Max is also so curious and so bed time is not as smooth as it used to be. He still goes down fine but he wants to get up and down and up and down. Max also is testing boundaries because he tried to hit me today while we were playing and I said, we do not hit because that hurts people’s feelings and then he laughed and tried it again. Any suggestions or any stories that happen to you with your kid or kids?
