I dont think he even understands timeout, but that's where I put him. He just kept copying what I said "spitting is yucky" and cried.....Im trying to be a good mommy. today that meant no cleaning and playing dinosaurs for hours. 100 degrees outside, not leaving the house!NT MOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100099247126543626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009630656417042895.post-18058559962945465372011-07-22T06:39:22.049-07:002011-07-22T06:39:22.049-07:00Sounds just like my boy word for word. My son LOVE...Sounds just like my boy word for word. My son LOVES to spit on any and everything when he gets in the mood. One day I was just a mess trying to do something important and when I came to see what he was doing...he was in the toy room and it was covered in chocolate splatters from his chocolate pediasure. It took me forever to clean it up and there are still toys that I will pull out and see splats of chocolate milk. The spinning comes once or twice a week for him and once he starts he can't stop. :) <br /><br />You have to do what your heart tells you and if its something that is going to protect him then that is what needs to be done. I have only read a few posts of yours and just by reading those few I can tell you are the best Mommy! Nothing but best wishes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404737258447938874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009630656417042895.post-45748382958884217562011-07-22T06:15:32.120-07:002011-07-22T06:15:32.120-07:00As I mentioned in one of your posts my oldest did ...As I mentioned in one of your posts my oldest did this, too. It's true though when they have a "spurt" if any kind (learning something finally, growing...etc) their behaviors change dramatically. It can last days weeks even months. Those were dark times for me. Bittersweet. Great to see them master something finally but they are so burnt out from trying so hard they basically melt down. Hang in there!!! It really does get better. I've been through this and still am times 2. Our children and us .....we 'll be ok. We moms are made of strong stuff. ;-)MamiOfTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345942155056537538noreply@blogger.com
