Mom and Aunt Michelle took the boys on a walk to the park after supper tonight. The kids really had a lot of fun! The swing was the favorite for both of them. In fact, EJC had a difficult time sharing . . .
Victor squealed with delight!
He also LOVED the slide!
Addicted?
Our little problem with Ethan's yelling continues. We have exhausted every avenue of trying to remedy the problem, so I figured maybe he just has an addiction to yelling.
According to wikipedia, "the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity (yelling in this case), despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life."
Bingo! Ethan's yelling is causing harmful consequences to him (time-outs), to his health (the kid's got to be ruining his vocal chords), his social life (who wants to be around a yelling toddler??), and to his PARENTS' mental state.
I think we are on to something here - now, what to do about it??? I'll have to see if there is a 12 step program available!
Life with a 16 month Old
How would I describe life with my toddler?
*LOUD - (see above)
*FUN - He is really developing a little personality. He can be quite the comedian, and is a social butterfly!
*BUSY - Let's just say it's nice to have a break when he is in bed. He is pretty demanding and wants what he wants, NOW! But it's super fun to spend time with him and watch him enjoy the things he loves, like going outside and swinging, reading books, and playing with cars and trucks.
*WONDERFUL! - I can't wait to be home with him this summer!

If you hear of where the 12-step program is being offered, let me know. I have a couple prime students for that class. (Insert exasperated sigh).
