Battle of the Wills

But Darn it! I think I am winning. It is a hard fight. Noah is driving me nuts. I am working hard to nip his bossy streak real fast.
I want cereal.... He needs to say please and be patient. If I am on the toilet then obviously it will be a few minutes before I can fix it. So no need to stand there crying and repeating I want cereal over and over while I am doing business KWIM.
HE is starting to understand. Still having our moments but he is getting it.
Find my dinosaur robot.... I tell him Noah go to your room and look thru your toys. You can find your robot. He pitched a mini fit and I held my ground and eventually I heard him playing in his room with toys he has not touched in weeks.
I am not a mean mommy I help him do things and obviously I have helped way to much cause he demands it.
He is really starting to understand right and wrong and we have merged from toddler hood to little boyhood. So we have to start enforcing more order.

I wish I could say my kids were perfect but they can be little turds. But I am really seeing some improvement in Noah this week. It has been a bad and good week. It has taken me standing my ground and he has pitched a couple of fits but he is getting it.
Independent play is something I am really working on more. He is really getting better at it. He sat and colored for a long time today. He bowled on wii yesterday for a long time just by himself. It was funny to watch though. He is really good at it.
Well I think I just felt the need to document this. It is so hard to transition them from toddlers to kids. Especially if they are the "babies" of the house. I don't want him to grow up to fast but he is going to do it anyway!
