Connor has been such an easy going boy that has never gotten into much trouble, and I am sad to say that things are changing as we hit the terrible twos!! Connor seems to be so defiant and will test your patience again and again. Sometimes, I think he does some of the things he does for attention. Luke can be playing so good by himself and Connor will go up to him and either take something away from him, or touch him enough to make Luke squeal. I will ask him why he took a toy away from Luke and he will tell me CAUSE. I explain to him that it is not nice to take things away from others, and he just laughs at me. I will also tell him that he is being mean to Luke and he will tell me "go to the corner," which means he is putting himself in timeout. Oh, but this only last maybe 15 seconds and then tells me that he won't do it again, so he can come out. We have just entered this stage and I am ready for it to come to an end!!
On another note, Connor has become somewhat the helper or you could say, has become very independent. Anytime I am in the kitchen, he thinks he needs to help. He will get a table chair and scoot it over to the counter where I am working. I let him help as much as I can, but MOST of the time, he makes such a mess, which means I have to clean up after him, and could have prepared something so much faster if he wasn't there. I know this is a good experience for him, but most of the time, I lose my patience.
Update on the potty: Connor will tee tee on the potty all day long, but will not poop on the potty.
OMG....did I write this blog??? This is the story of my life!!!
