Major Stress

So today Laci was beyond out-of-control! From lunchtime until bedtime, we struggled with this child constantly. Part of the problem being that today was Madison's birthday and she wanted to play with the Barbie Laptop that we got Madison for her birthday. Madison let her test it out a couple of times, but that wasn't enough for Laci. UGH!!! I don't know what to do with her. We put her in timeout, ignore, etc. Nothing seems to work. We finally said that she wouldn't get to go out to eat with us when we took Madison out for her birthday. She seemed bothered by that, but then when we left Olivia and Laci at Terry's parents, she seemed fine to stay. I am hoping that she grows out of this stage fast, but I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel yet!

maybe it was good that she seemed fine to stay with terry's parents. it could be that she just needs some extra attention right now. she started pre-school & she's got a new baby in the family. we saw some pretty out of control behavior with ayla as well. we've been trying to be sure she gets some alone time with daddy once in a while & it seems to have helped.
