okay...we are in the midst of the terrible two's. i guess in the grand scheme of things collin's not so bad but it is so frustrating that every time we say no collin throws a fit and/or starts whining (the incessant whining is driving me INSANE!!). Nanny 911 has been coming on tv in syndication recently so i'm obsessed w/watching it b/c i think maybe i'll learn something about what to do and/or what not to do.
one thing that has really peaked my interest is the idea of a reward board. i've really put a lot of thought into this and wonder if it will help or if collin is too young to understand what it is and what it's for. jared doesn't seem to be too interested in it but maybe we just need to discuss it a little more for him to get on board w/this plan. if so, it will be time to decide what to do and how to do it. i'm really trying to give collin a little more responsibility by letting him help w/chores and giving real consequences to bad behavior.
i'm not super crafty so i'm not sure how/what to do w/regard to setting up the board/system. oh how i wish i was more imaginative.
more on this later....

I think the reward board is a great idea. We are often surprised by how uch children really understand. Anyway, I might try it with Julianna too. She has been given the job of carrying all of the recycling to the recycle bin out in the garage each night while I am making dinner (milk jugs, soda cans, boxes, etc). She loves the fact that she is helping out and I love the fact that it keeps her busy while I am cooking! :)
