It's been a while, my husband's grandfather died, so we have been spending a lot of time with family recently. Today my ten month old son decided to throw a full fledged temper tantrum. He has recently discovered climbing. He has decided that his favorite thing to climb is up on our fireplace. It's closed, and has never been used but he hasn't mastered getting down, and its sharp. He throws toys up there before he climbs so he doesn't get bored. This kid is too damn smart for his own good. He climbed up there so I picked him up and set him on the floor near his toys. He goes straight back over there.
I decide that if he insists on throwing temper tantrums and being a big boy now, then I will treat him like a big boy and "ignore it" So I sat there basically restraining my 10 month old from crawling to the fireplace. I tried giving him toys (they say the only way you can discipline at this age is distraction...yea that only works when your kid is not hell bent on climbing on that damn fireplace.) So I eventually removed him from the situation, which translates to it is nap time. I am now sitting here typing this while my temper tantrum throwing 10 month old is passed out. Life is fun...
