Hellobee Boards

Eating/snacking, constantly with my oldest. And using bathrooms with hand dryers. Instant terror and refusal even if he has to pee like a racehorse

Not pouring the sippy cup everywhere with my youngest. And coloring on my walls with crayons. We switched to Crayola washable because of this. <eye roll>

@Foodnerd81: @mediagirl: Yeah, mine still wears his Batman costume everywhere. I don't really mind, I think he's hilarious

Watching tv or Youtube videos. We've stopped. Period. Because otherwise the crying and whining is out of control.

Washing hands after potty. Clothing (too scratchy, itchy, tight). Sitting at the table while eating. Cleaning up after herself

@pregnantbee: It's so true. For DS, it's the ability to keep changing apps and videos that I think is overstimulating. When he watches a short show on t.v., he's fine. We still let him use the ipad occasionally in the car but he can't use the internet so it's not nearly as bad.

@lemondrop: @Foodnerd81: Haha, every time DS sees me go in his closet he asks to wear his dalmatian costume from Halloween.

Generally just getting him to do what I want to do (especially in the morning) takes a ton of patience. He takes forever to go down the stairs, and often decides to run back to his room for some reason after he's a couple steps in. He's a super slow eater in the morning and this morning took about a half hour to eat some of a toaster waffle and a box of craisins. Putting on shoes requires asking 4 times if he give me his feet, then as soon as I start to put one sock on, he pulls his foot away and says, "no, other one first". Then once I finally get him in the car he first sits *next* to his carseat instead of in it, and when I finally get him to climb in the carseat, he's kneeling and looking backwards.

I spend my entire morning every day convincing him to do what I want him to do. If I force him, I get a total meltdown and he's strong enough to make it REALLY difficult. I have limited success with counting to 3, and it loses it's effectiveness if I have to do it over and over.

Sharing and being nice! Gahhh!! Why are brothers soooooooo annoying??? It's like Logan's only purpose in this world is to annoy Xander and Xander gets soooooooo frustrated and upset so easily! I'm like "Can you two just STOP and get along for TWO SECONDS, PLEASE???" I'm losing my damn mind trying to keep them separated at all times!
