Look at this little guy, can he get any more delicious? He is such a good little boy, but man is he giving us a run for our money lately. Aaron's folks say he is like a little replica of Aaron when he was little.
So I know where it comes from.
He is 2 going on at least 4. He is watching and learning everything from his big brother Zackary. He and we forget that he is only 2. We tend to expect him to act like a 4 year old and he just isn't. Us forgetting that he is only 2 is probably most of the problem, because he really is a good kid. The boys play really well together, we only have our occasional fight over toys, which I expect with siblings.
He has the cutest little eyes and boy does he use them on us when he is in trouble. Our boys really don't respond to time out, time in, yelling, threats of not going somewhere or getting something. So tomorrow we are starting a new discipline program. Hopefully it is his (and Zackary's) "currency" right now. MONEY! We will be using dimes. They will start off with 10 in a jar. When we see good behavior (sharing, listening) they will earn a dime. If we see bad behavior (physical, multiple warnings) they will loose dimes, 1 or 2 depending in the offence. At the end of the week whatever is in their jar they get to give a little, save a little, and spend a little. We will see how this goes, they are both really into coins right now.
