Lessons times three!

You know that each child needs to learn similar things and that you are going to be the one to teach them. Some things are fun to teach each one - how to sit, roll over, ride a bike, play with playdough, paint, go up stairs, go down stairs- some things aren't so fun - TOILET TRAINING (that sums up that category) and some things are down right frustrating - not throwing food on the floor, not grabbing toys, not yelling, and long trains. We've had to teach Ethan all of the above, Aiden all oft he above and now it's Christian's turn - with the trains! I've decided that each little boy has to go through a frustrating time in his life when trains just don't work the way he wants them too. Christian figures 4,5, or 6 train cars would be good - however, he cannot push/pull them properly so they always fall of the track - I try to explain that a 2 or 3 car train would work better but it doesn't work. He cries, he yells, he points, he insists on having a big train - until I take them away and then he still cries, yells and points but it is only louder. I know this phase will pass - it kind of has with the other two. Well, not really but they can control their trains better and know that if they start throwing a hissy fit the trains will disappear.
