Hopefully everything we are teaching them will begin to click, just in time for their siblings to take over, lol!

Drew goes through waves as well. We have really, really rough weeks. Then, like the flip of a switch, we have amazing, angelic weeks. I can't figure out what switches him between the two, but hey-I'm not complaining too much. For far too long we only had one wave, and that was the disobedient, strong willed, challenge everything you say wave. NO FUN. Hoping this other wave sticks one day for good!Audra Laneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676760181352613922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107366830633970319.post-52773998731722796152012-08-25T15:12:34.071-05:002012-08-25T15:12:34.071-05:00Great points in this post- many of which we alread...Great points in this post- many of which we already do. Ive read your blog for sometime now (years, maybe?), and I have an almost 4 year old boy and a 19 month old girl too. One of the hardest things for me is that Cameron has waves in his behavior- where for a few weeks, it's awesome to parent such a great child, and I enjoy staying home with him. He will be sweet to his sister and obey very well. And then there's "those" weeks. The ones where he is consistently in time-out, mean to his sister, and outright disobedient. Its hard to deal with that when I know he is capable of being such a great boy! I find that being consistent with punishment, serving it up in a loving, non-loud manner is key for me. Its not fun at all to get into a shouting match with him.<br />I admit, the last place I often turn for answers is in the Bible, when it should be the first. Recently I got a bible app on my phone and it has a daily "parenting by design" read that I've been enjoying! Again, great post! I can relate to everything you said.
