My aunt is here for almost a week. We are off to St.Jacob's market tomorrow :) I am excited to be going...I am excited to just spend time with her. As a child she was the aunt that went out of her way to invest herself in us kids the most and that made a big impact on me.
CO was TERRIBLE this evening. He made a string of bad choices leading up to going to bed. I gave him constant warning of consequences the whole way and encouragement for him to make good choices. He choose the wrong and then would have a huge fit when I delivered the forewarned consequence. Which would lead to another wrong choice, etc. In the end he finally choose the right option and softly cried himself to sleep. I find nights like this frustrating...even more so when I have company because on the most part he is a good kid, he is just VERY curious, strong willed, able and a button pusher :) Other than that he is a joy! Unfortunately for some reason the last couple of weeks he has regressed and is purposely defiant. Which is frustrating for me and he seems to be surprised when I follow through with the consequences that I warn him are coming his way.
Is it realistic of me to be expecting a 3 1/2 year old to want to obey? To make good choices?
