A New Phase

Well, Charlotte has officially begun the whining phase of her life. This oh so frustrating little habit of hers is starting to wear me thin. Any ideas for how to re-direct, cope with, or stop this behavior? I'm all ears.

You could try "When you can talk to me in your big girl voice,..." Works sometimes. Mostly it just takes some patience and lots of chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. Need chocolate until they are about 5 (parents need it, not the children)

Can't wait to see you guys again in a few weeks!

See if she wants you to send the baby back where he came from. ;) Michael probably would have been much happier in life had Dan been sent back.

Jack is doing the same thing. We just tell him that "if you are going to cry/whine you can go to your room". He either stops or he will go to his room for a minute then come out fine.
