| From Tobo the Toddler |
I haven't written much again, but thought I'd share from our travel to the cabin this weekend. Amazing how much he's changed in just a year.
- Tobo and I found a john deere tractor flashlight with wheels and engine noise and everything. It promptly stopped working probably as soon as we got it home.
- A friend and I tried to take our kids out for lunch at the Egg and I. It really almost worked if her little one wasn't so fried. I think we agreed we'd try again this time for breakfast.
- This lead to Tobo falling asleep in the car one the way to the store. I figured he'd wake up when I unbuckled him. Apparently not. He slept as I got him in the sling, shopped, wresled him back into the car got him and the groceries into the house, only to wake up as soon as I put him in the crib. Go figure. :D
- Up at the cabin tobo worked on not only going up stairs but going down them properly. We moved the pressure gate we bring up a few steps so he could practice without getting all the way up. He's doing really good at going "feet first" now.
- I got something that sounded a lot like "bread" the other day, he's also definitely meowing when he sees a kitty, and is wickedly interested in our laptops. This is one of the reasons I don't write or check in as often. It sends tobo into a proto-tantrum. I'm told that these get worse in time. I've told him in 7 more months he's going to learn what a time out is all about.

That last one is uber gosh darn cute.
FYI we did some mini time outs long before two. I'm not sure if you meant you are waiting till then but I would think it might be too late then/easier to get him used to it now. For serious infractions, short period of time, of course. Our doctor recommended one minute for each year.
I second what Wendy said about timeouts. Plus, Charlie too is way too interested in our laptop and screams when he can't touch it. Love those tantrums.
