My darling in her birthday petti skirt.?? I want more pictures of this skirt.?? Two more ideas in mind for this month.??<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Getting her to keep that headband on was a nightmare.?? Our daugher is developing quite the temper these days.?? She has started hitting and she exercises this new skill whenever (a) someone makes her mad (b) someone takes something away (c) someone says NO (d) she is tired and wants to get to bed.?? So pretty much – every time life isn’t going about just as she wishes.?? We are having a heck of a time trying to break her of it to.?? Dr. Dobson and Kevin Lehman say that toddlers don’t really “get” the consequence of discipline until about 18 months (Papa reminded me of this when I was exasperated over this earlier in the week).?? I am trying to just hold her hands down and tell her that we don’t hit but so far…well…that’s ticking her off as well.?? I am wondering if she will turn out to be my strong willed child.?? Tanner and Ty neither one were strong willed.?? Tanner started off with full blown temper tantrums at about 18 months.?? He would lie on his face and kick and pound and scream.?? (Red headed thing \ud83d\ude42 ).?? Jim, determined to end this, began to pick him up and hold him tightly when he would do this.?? He wouldn’t let him go until the tantrum was finished.?? Two or three different times, Jim held Tanner for over 2 hours.?? I learned early not to get into a stubborn war with my husband – you will lose everytime because trust me??- he is willing to go farther than you are and you can take that to the bank.?? After about the third time of entering into this battle with Daddy, Tanner decided that the tantrum thing was highly ineffective and never repeated it again.?? Ty never tried anything like that.?? Our happy boy couldn’t stay angry that long.?? He has to work hard to muster up anything resembling a temper.?? Tori though…I have a feeling she is going to go a few rounds with her Dad in the next couple years.?? Thankfully, I’d place all my money on Jim.?? :)?? Unfortunately, he thinks she is the cutest thing on earth right now and has wanted me taping her beating on Tanner.?? Daddy won’t think it’s funny forever.?? Tanner already doesn’t.<\/p>\n

I think part of the reason for her early temper dislays is a direct result of her intelligence.?? (I know I sound like a bragging mama but she IS very smart…she really IS).<\/p>\n

Here is a story demonstrating.?? Keep in mind she is 12 months old and gestationally only 10 months old.<\/p>\n

I was carrying laundry down the hall to put in the washer and I dropped a couple of pieces.?? Tori was also in the hall following me.?? On a whim I said “Tori pick that up and bring it to mama”.?? She walked back to an item of clothing, picked up, walked down the hall into the laundry room and said “Here”.?? Heck.?? I have to repeat that same instruction 10 times to my boys hee hee.?? This girl thing is N I C E.?? Her baptizing my International Miss Israel doll in the toilet this morning was not so nice however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
