School is going great, but...
Well, Max has been into EVERYTHING lately! Yikes! I do a lot more hands-on teaching with Janie this year and Max seems to be constantly pushing buttons on the tv, eating chips, climbing on things, playing with the computer, whining or making a general mess. Ah, the "terrible twos"! So, in true Dorene style, if this were your kid I could tell you exactly what to do and I would be right. :) With my own kid, tho... well, I need you to help me focus. What do you suggest I do with him when he's driving me nuts or, better yet, how do I head him off before he drives me nuts?

Boy, do I feel for you, Girl! I'm so in the same boat. I really limit movie times, so when I'm desperate, I'll let her watch one. Mostly, I just try to let her help with what I'm doing as much as I can. Distract, distract, distract! That's all I can say.
ReplyDeleteDo what my ex brother-in-law used to say. Throw him in front of Sesame Street with a bowl of MacNCheese... No, just kidding. I have the same situation in my house. I usually bring his little toy box to the middle of the floor so that he is near me. I try to give him a little attention, sing a song for a few minutes, then try to get him engaged in a toy or book. It gives me a few extra minutes. Good Luck!
ReplyDeletei'm totally in to the mac n cheese thing with the tv. :) seriously, he seems to be settling, tho... now how to get him to stay in his toddler bed! ug!
