I love this picture, but don't let that smile fool you...lurking just around the corner is a tantrum waiting to happen! :) A few months ago Seth had a rough couple of days, so i chalked it up to the terrible twos, but then he was back to his sweet self again...until now. It has been a week now and Seth is really acting out alot. Every day last week his teacher's were saying that he just wasn't himself and was getting frustrated so easily. And at home, he is not much better. He will be laughing one minute and then throwing himself down on the ground the next. Ignoring the tantrums seems to help and he snaps out of it pretty quick, but it's the other things that are so frustrating. He used to be so good about getting into his carseat, or the tub or his bed, but now everything is a battle. It has to be on his terms or it just isn't going to be! If you give him a piece of bread for dinner, he doesn't want that one, he wants a different piece even though it's exactly the same. I pulled out my discipline books last night and refreshed my memory and got some good pointers. Fact: the terrible two's actually start closer to 15 months and can last a LONG time. I have found some discipline approaches that work well for Seth, but then there are some things i am just totally at a loss about. What do you do when your child totally refuses to sit in the car seat?? Needless to say, i am going to be very busy reading up on discipline. Even with the tantrums though he is still very sweet and loves his hugs and kisses.
On a different note, last Saturday Seth got his very first haircut. It wasn't very long to begin with, but i just wanted to get it evened up. We found this cool little kid's hair place called the Hairy Elephant. There were all sorts of toys and games and each station had it's very own TV. Seth sat and watched Elmo and sucked on a lolipop while he got his haircut. He was so good!
