I can't wait ...Happy, happy 2nd birthday B!!!!<br /><br />I can't wait to see photos of him loving his new train set! Asher adores his and he's getting some cars for Christmas, so it will officially be "boy central" around here after that. ha!<br /><br />Asher takes a chewable vitamin called "My First Flintstones". His pediatrician recommended them and he really likes it. It's pretty much his version of candy. :-)<br /><br />We haven't been pushing the potty too much yet. Asher has one that he reluctantly sits on, but he refuses to stay there for more than a second. He's just not ready. <br /><br />Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369871530985099865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683817496456861986.post-91335218080619683572011-12-20T13:23:42.540-06:002011-12-20T13:23:42.540-06:00Happy Birthday, B!!! I can't wait to see pics ...Happy Birthday, B!!! I can't wait to see pics of the party and new train set! How fun! <br /><br />Jack is a pretty good eater, but is starting to refuse veggies as well. Saturday night he ate an entire cheeseburger, bun and all!! We had his well-check last Wednesday and he's now taking a Flinstones chewable vitamin. I may switch to the gummies though, because he's not too sure what to do with the chewables. But we have to get the ones with iron added, because his iron levels were slightly less than they'd like them to be. <br /><br />We have not started time-outs yet, but will sometime in the next year. I just don't think it would work that well right now. I will never spank him, but I have swat at his hand a very few times (and only if he's doing something like reaching for the hot stove). The thing that works right now is taking something away from him. He is a really good kid and listens pretty well and the biggest problem we have is him throwing his toys. I just tell him he can only throw balls and I'll take whatever it is that he threw. He also plays with his food and drinks and likes to make a big mess, but he's not being vindictive about it. I have him help me clean up (which might be partly why he's doing it in the first place!) and I take away his food. The only other issue I have is with him wanting to touch things he shouldn't- machinery and tools and he wants to press the buttons on the dishwasher, etc. For that, I make sure things are out of his reach or I say no and remove him from the situation (if possible). Nothing too serious and nothing that I feel really warrants a time out just yet! I've heard that 3 is worse, but I can't believe that is possible with how much more they'll be talking and be able to communicate their feelings. But we'll see! :)<br /><br />Good luck at your well visit! And I'm glad you cleared up any suspicions regarding baby #2. I wondered if you were wanting another. :)Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08762023093830971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683817496456861986.post-4873399183587176702011-12-19T22:49:58.754-06:002011-12-19T22:49:58.754-06:00Happy birthday, Bennett!

He he.<br /><br />I wish my child liked mac n cheese. I cannot get him to eat that stuff for the life of me. My kid would just eat fruit only if I let him. If you would like to get more veggies in him, try making like zucchini bread. He wouldn't even taste the zucchini!<br /><br />As for disciplining, we do time outs and ignoring. It depends what it is. His head banging, we completely ignore. All others, we do time outs. We have become very fierce in our voice when he does something wrong and we have noticed that the "seriousness" in our voice gets his attention right away and he thinks twice before he does it again. <br /><br />We have fluoride and vitamin drops in one. His ped prescribed it and I just drop it into his juice or water.Connors Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967187850124405257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683817496456861986.post-27530184013795906352011-12-19T09:20:28.094-06:002011-12-19T09:20:28.094-06:00Happy happy birthday, Bennett!!!

P will occasionally hit also when she is being disciplined. <br />I haven't given P any sort of vitamins, but thought I would ask the pedi at her 2 year appointment. She used to eat a wide variety of veggies, but not so much anymore. She loves fruit though! Unfortunately, she has Mama's sweet tooth...<br />We will also be potty training after the new year. P is ready and goes on the potty quite often, but I just haven't put the time and effort into it.<br />Also, I hate hate flash and stopped taking pics when it was required. Then I saw a quote that said:<br />"you miss 100% of the shots you don't take".<br />I decided it wasn't worth missing a shot just bc the lighting wasn't perfect.Ashliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156525661911775100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683817496456861986.post-50638271080538672002011-12-19T08:46:25.650-06:002011-12-19T08:46:25.650-06:00Happy birthday!!!

Haha.<br /><br />Liam is the exact same way about those Thomas trains! He even knows the new ones and the construction vehicles... I can't even keep up! It's amazing how much they can remember... when I can't even remember where I put my car keys most days!<br /><br />We give Liam Cars gummy vitamins. They come in little Cars character shapes and the gummy itself is not hard to chew. It's actually really yummy! So it's pretty much like a treat when I give him his vitamin.Jac V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066961350130005830noreply@blogger.com
