I'm sure i'm not the first mom to say that it is hard to disipline your kids. It is for me, but i am working on it. I'll admit, i give in to her to easy. Let's just say she is one pampered princess. This age is so fun yet so hard. She's wanting to do everything herself. Exploring, experimenting and wanting to know about everything around her -which i love- but gets her into trouble sometimes. She likes to hit, pull hair, etc. help! And let's just say she is a little ball of energy. A guy at church said, "she sure is a firecracker!"
I just keep telling myself "she'll grow out of it" and "these things take time." You mom's know what i'm talking about right? I know that each age has it's hard times and it's joys. The "terrible two's" are obviously no exception. It's trying times but i am loving every minute of it cause i know the "little days" don't last long.
She can be the most lovable little girl in the whole wide world. I don't want her to get big. I love her littleness. I still take it in. I love to sing and cuddle with her before bedtime. I love to hear her sweet prayers, she can name everyone in the family, it's seriously the sweetest thing. I love to teach her things and watch her learn and grow everyday, it's such a good feeling. I love when she cuddles with me, gives me sweet hugs and kisses. It's moments like these that makes it all worth it.

"Time out" has been a frequent occurance at our house lately. Especially when friends or cousins come over to play. Let's just say she likes to show them who's boss. She is learning to share and be nice though. These things just take time (and patience on my part). She can be such a sweetheart when she want to be.
My mom and dad found this funny "time out" chair the other day. I think it's cute. She's gotten to know it quite well. The problem is that she likes time out. She thinks it's funny. What else can i do? Please help me out here! Seriously, how could you stay mad at that face...
Another thing that is going to take some time is "potty time." She is certainly interested in it, she loves to pretend to go potty, but it's the actual "going" that hasn't happened yet. I'm in no hurry or anything, i know it will take time for her. But it doesn't hurt to be prepared...
If you want a good laugh, watch "Elmo's Potty Time," it's really funny. Okay, so maybe i'm a big dork, but sometimes laughing at dumb stuff is what gets me through the day!

You are now in the club I like to call, "Everybody is looking at me because MY kid is being naughty." WELCOME! I have no advice. Jordyn is such a pill. She spits. We do have time out...and I do take things away, but she doesn't really care either. Good luck! And if you figure it out, let me know.
Hang in there. I just finished the potty training (if you ever finish...?) One thing that worked for Jackson was I took him to wal-mart and the dollar store and pick out some little cheap toys. I then wrapped them in Cars wrapping paper and everytime he actually went pee or poo he got to open a prize- WORKED LIKE A CHARM! He only got to open a prize for pee or poop though, if he at least tried to go he would get to do a sticker on a chart. Then I gave him bigger prizes (like a fishing game) after a whole day being dry and then a whole week... It has helped a lot. GOOD LUCK!!!
