I am a mom to a 4 yr old boy who has some speech issues but is smart as a whip and a 3 yr old girl who has an attitude like her mama....which is a very bad thing. =) They are 1 yr and 42 mins apart. They fight like nothing I have ever seen before...They torture their toys...they are outside always type kids and they are the type of kids that want to do what the adult does. Did I mention I am home alone with these two for 101/2 hrs a day? Lol. Soon I won't be and I will miss them dearly while they are at school!
So my biggest struggle is with my son. He refuses to clean up after what he messes up.
Second one is attempting to have him witness things. Like I clean up from dinner every night, Getting him to see that I am not having someone else do it but I do have some help (from my Boyfriend) and its okay to take your time as long as it gets done. I try to show what I teach. Everyone has to clean up.
Having them so close in age is a blessing in many ways but at the same time they are teaching each other and I am trying to guide and teach them both at the same time without the other interfering. My son wants my daughter to do something he knows is wrong, my daughter wants to scream like a howler monkey which leads my son to try the "No no nothing mama" when I ask them what they are up too...So then I need to stop her from acting like shes dying when shes not and him to stop cornering her and asking her to do stuff that is wrong...like taking out all my dvds from the cabinet or something.
We also have the oh so famous BLAME GAME! I'm still working on neat little mama tricks to make this come to a slight halt. I know they will do it most their life,but there should be a limit. =)
