I remember i used to post every new thing he did and now i dont stand a chance there is too much.<BR/><BR/>I am quite a tough Mummy, i know that and i know i a dont let anything slip. The impact of that is when i say at at to distract he stops there and then.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476795445385308479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641406268883173289.post-45435494436930294382007-12-23T14:21:00.000-05:002007-12-23T14:21:00.000-05:00She sounds like so much fun (minus the trantrums)....She sounds like so much fun (minus the trantrums). I keep thinking the current age is the best, but I do love this 12 to 18 month age. <BR/><BR/>Not sure that it's relevant, but I did have a heart murmur through my teen years, and it's gone now. My ped never sent me to a cardio but I think doctors were less cautious then (less fear of lawsuits etc.). Hopefully hers will be equally minor.<BR/><BR/>Hope Izzy feels better soon. S. used to get similar pains. Sometimes pumping her legs into her stomach and then pulling them straight would help her feel better. Also making sure she was not lying flat for 1/2 hour after eating.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162496719896724710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641406268883173289.post-46375927858655495392007-12-21T20:52:00.000-05:002007-12-21T20:52:00.000-05:00Aww, she sounds like such a big girl.

Hopefully the tantrums will end once she learns they don't work (after months and months, but you know, sometime). Good luck with the cardiologist. I hope it's very boring.Antropólogahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720065905801369495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641406268883173289.post-21426440739122133782007-12-21T13:34:00.000-05:002007-12-21T13:34:00.000-05:00I have all the same questions about where the time...I have all the same questions about where the time has gone. As a Papa of a 17-month old, I feel the same about him going from baby to boy. I don't know anything about redirecting, but a tip about the blanket, which I'm passing on from my sisters: get Izzy hooked on a burp diaper as his lovie. Sure, it's not as sentimental as a cute blankie, but if you get him hooked on a plain, white cloth diaper, you'll always have one around, you can always get more when they get too old or dirty, and you always have a burp diaper around when there's a mess. And when isn't there a mess? Plus, we just leave some in the car, the stroller, and every room of the house. The only downside we've found is that with lovies scattered through the house, 3B has developed a need to have one in each hand, but we have (almost) never been without one.<BR/><BR/>I hope you figure out the redirection thing and not just because I hope that you write about what works, so we can use it when we have our next baby.Papa Bradsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795913459610115195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641406268883173289.post-41698872538816803002007-12-21T13:08:00.000-05:002007-12-21T13:08:00.000-05:00I also have no advise for re-direction. I do know...I also have no advise for re-direction. I do know that E also throws the tantrums now especially when we turn off the Shrek so that we can watch normal people TV. We have decided the best way to deal with the tantrum is to let her have it. Then after a few moments she finds a toy and is happy again.<BR/><BR/>E also like to throw things and hit when she does not get her way. We are currently trying to find a way to end this little problem.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and Merry Christmas!Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425805833646123050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641406268883173289.post-51816874438291369052007-12-21T12:31:00.000-05:002007-12-21T12:31:00.000-05:00I'm not so good at re-direction, but then again I'...I'm not so good at re-direction, but then again I'm only dealing with one and you have two!<BR/>Kudos for you even trying!<BR/><BR/>K is in the throes of becoming his own little person, which includes tantrums as well. I read, and sorry I can't remember where (but I'll look it up if you want), that kids can't switch from one activity to another like turning off a light switch. They need time to adjust. So I tell K that in 10 minutes its time for _____________. Then I tell him when there are 5 min. left, 2 min. left, etc. When it's time to switch activities and he throws a fit I tell him "remember I told you you had 10 min. to play, then 5 and now it's time to do __________? remember? yes, you do, don't you?" and the thing is he does remember and the fit usually ends.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if that will help, but maybe. If not, then I've just worked on my typing skills because this post is really freaking long! HA!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312142897667859239noreply@blogger.com
