Counting.....

So, JW counted to 100 today!! He had help a couple times from Jake, but basically did it all on his own. WOW, time sure is going by quickly. He is quite the smart little boy. (Shhhh, don't tell him I called him that!)

We also took him to see his second movie today. He did really well sitting through it. I was quite impressed! Jake took him to see the Chipmunk movie a couple weeks ago, and since he did so well, we decided today was a good day for another. We went and saw Planet 51. I don't think he enjoyed it near as much as the chipmunk one, but he still did really well. He says that the "TV" is as big as our house!!!

I don't think that I am doing to well with him growing up so quickly. I look around at all the bab ies, and really wish for that time back. I miss when he would snuggle his little face into my neck, and fall asleep on my chest. I am really hoping that God will bless us with another one, but if not, I am trying to enjoy every moment that I have with him. Sometimes I think that I get to frustrated with him to quickly, and don't take the time to enjoy him. I am trying to remember to take a step back and realize that these times are fleeting, and that I will never get them back, so I better enjoy them while I can. Even if I feel like he will never be potty trained. LOL

What should we do?

So, last week at preschool, my son started throwing what the teachers call an anger tantrum. The teacher asked him to stop chewing on a toy, and when he wouldn't quit, took the toy away. I got a call at work, and in the background, I could here my son throwing a huge screaming fit. The teacher told me I needed to come right away. I left work, only to get to preschool, and have my son playing nicely. This has happen three times now. The second time, Jake went to school and took him aside, and talked to him. We didn't want him to think we would take him home everytime he threw a fit. He then did it again 5 minutes before Jake can to pick him up the other day.

The teachers keep asking what could be causing him to behave this way. They asked if something was going on at home. I can't think of anything that has changed recently, but I get the idea that if he doesn't stop it soon, they will not want him to come back. I guess in these "rages" as they call them, he tends to lash out, and try to hurt whoever is talking to him. I am at a loss with what to do. We have tried punishing him, talking to him, time outs, taking toys away.... What is next?
