I totally agree with all of these....This is great! I totally agree with all of these. Actually getting all of those things happening in our house is another! Jackson is the most impatient little guy out there. He had great manners, never sleeps in our bed, has certain (2 year old) responsibilities, but he goes from nicely asking for a glass of milk to screaming and demanding one in about 2 seconds. Not sure how to fix that. I think a certain amount of it is inherited (from his dad) but I also think I can teach him a certain amount of patience. Any tips? Also, we have a pretty strict bed time, and he is usually good about it, but for the last month or so, he continues to get out of bed. And come downstairs. And if we lock him in his room, he will throw such a fit that he will make himself vomit (literally). I'm sure it has something to do with having Grandmas in our house for the last month too, but now I can't get him back in the habit. Any suggestions are welcome ;)Mile High Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109816351212049191noreply@blogger.com
