Last week I we beside myself with the boys… I tried everything and the kids wouldn’t stop pulling on every kitchen cupboard and yanking at all the child safe locks…. I just didn’t now why their behavior had changed so much and what was going on….. My mom had some great parenting advice that maybe the kids needed something such as building blocks rather than all of these toys that just make sounds when you move or push them…. And was she ever right!!!!! I brought in the mega blocks and the boys were completely different kids!!!!! They both sat down with the blocks and started building towers out of them!! I was so impressed and surprised.. These little guys just needed something more challenging to do.. I kept asking myself “why didn’t I think of that.. How simple of a thing to have brought in for the kid..” I also brought in a few puzzles and the kids are already able to accociate between the farm animals and other pictures on the puzzled… I help up a chicken puzzle piece and asked Tyler where it went.. He immediately took the piece and placed it exactly where it should go.. Once they get it on the spot where it should go, they are so so so excited.. I then tell them to turn the piece and they start working with it until it fits… and then the whole house starts clapping…. When Tyler get a piece to fit, Trevor claps and claps and the same happens when Trevor fits the piece in… It is adorable!!!!!
