Do you believe that within the past week I have been kicked, hit, bit and had large clumps of my hair yanked out of my head? AND the culprit is this innocent looking man.
OK...I am being dramatic, but we have officially entered a new phase and I feel like I am heading into a new realm. I bought the book 1, 2, 3 Magic a few months ago since it was recommended by our peditrician and I need to read it ASAP. I am trying to remember that this is all a stage and to keep my cool, but I miss my sweet, innocent, always loving little boy. The good thing is that Roman is really only doing these things to myself (and poor Marley), so we are ready to take some action to set in place some new rules. Currently my timeouts are not working since he thinks my stern "No" is funny and he likes when I hold him in a corner and count to 20. Some friends have suggested I set-up a Pack and Play, so we will see if that helps with the timeout concept.
On the flip side, Roman is sweet 90% of the day and is so loving. He plays very well with other kids and is a good sharer. He makes me laugh and I love seeing his personality come out. He loves his sister and is beginning to say "Please" when he wants something. I know that deep down he has a heart of gold and that this is simply a phase that EVERY toddler goes through.
