Maybe I'm not good at it, it feels totally ridiculous and fake and he senses it. <BR/><BR/>He cleans up right away. As soon as it falls he is on the floor cleaning up and that's what makes it so annoying because meal time lasts forever between chewing and picking food off the ground. He also freaks when lids are open especially if the lids are dirty. In bath time he washes his body and then he'll wash the soap bottle. He's just obsessive about cleanliness in general. The good thing is that he is already ready to clean up his toys, I don't even have to ask him. I probably won't mind this obsession when he's a teenager.<BR/><BR/>by the way today he already yelled at me three times "STOP" which only started after me yelling at him yesterday. hummm I'm not making progress people.Damaris @Kitchen Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526087060203536108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66084394107476460.post-66934978071045965402008-04-15T03:17:00.000-07:002008-04-15T03:17:00.000-07:00That could get annoying real fast.

Enzo needs to pick up the rice. When Enzo drops food on the floor and he is sad, Enzo needs to pick up the food." And sounds like some cave man speak might help, too. "ENZO MAD! ENZO NO LIKE FOOD FALL! ENZO SAD! ENZO PICK UP FOOD!" <BR/><BR/>Kaylynn would freak out when shampoo lids were open. Everything needed to be closed. <BR/><BR/>Of course I have no idea if these would work, but maybe it will. And always, this too shall pass.Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885653194190379573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66084394107476460.post-31445593963424590912008-04-14T20:04:00.000-07:002008-04-14T20:04:00.000-07:00Man.

I haven't all out yelled at her, but sometimes I feel like I have to totally ignore her because I'm just really annoyed with the fact that I spent an hour trying to make her take a nap and she wouldn't. She'll bring books to me and I'll just keep reading my own or walk away. It's really mean, and there's no way that she could possible associate my behavior as any sort of punishment of her own. Mostly it just makes her more anxious, which is what makes her more stressful to take care of. Talk about teaching behavior. To the parent. Sometimes I feel like it's the only way to deal with it for that hour or so, because then I can get over it, and she's just happy that she didn't have to take a nap. <BR/>He must be a pretty clean eater, which is awesome. Our carpet is riddled with untold crumbs and pieces of dinners that are now invaded by ants. I hate cleaning the kitchen floor or vacuuming. It's just such a waste of time for a state that will last only as long as she is asleep.Marikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110357429393082121noreply@blogger.com
