Today I wish to vent about my crazy kid! Alexis does A LOT of things really well, she sleeps really well, she sings really well, and she sits on time out really well. She gives good loves, and her memory surprises me daily! But the thing she does not do really well, is play with other kids. She is not grasping the concept of sharing, or that it's just not ok to hit other kids for no good reason. About a month ago I started going to the gym and took Lexi to the gym daycare. She was in there for about a week, and got written up for pushing other kids. They made me sign a form saying if she was pushing again, she'd be suspended for 7 days. Oh man, did I stress about that, I STILL stress every time I take her in there. Today they said she was stealing toys from the little kids. And then we went to play group and I watched her go up to some kid and give him a good push for who knows what reason, the kid wasn't even looking at her! So I packed her up and took her home. If you can't play nice, you can't play at all. But then I think, there obviously arn't any kids here, so if I keep taking her away, it isn't helping her play nice...but I can't let her terrorize the other kids to help her learn...I'm at a loss. We talk about sharing and playing nice all day, and every time she acts up she sits on time out, or we take her home all together, what else can I do? This parenting this is harder than it looks...I know what my mom is thinking, 'she's 2, she'll grow out of it', and I tell myself that all day to calm down. So until she grows out of it, I'll just make a public apology to all those moms out there who's kids are getting pushed around by crazy Lexi.

Christa,
She's two, she'll grow out of it!
Besides, it's a family trait. She's so much like her dad. And see, He's not pushing anymore, at
least not unitl he see's his brothers. And he seems to be sharing quite well too.
lol.. I love this picture that you posted!!! I feel like that sometimes too. Cute Lexi... yeah, it's a phase. Jayden will figure it out soon enough. Right now he's the one getting shoved around in nursery, but he'll figure it out and start shoving soon too.. I'm sure. I've read that kids are not very good at sharing until they get out of nursery. Fun. I don't have any words of parenting advice....I'm always at a loss it seems. Better dig up my books from college. I did take parenting classes...but it's a whole new world now that I'm actually DOING it.!
