- Okay. When you're done helping Donna....tell me how to stop
- my 13 month old from butting everything and everyone with his
- head!!!! This just started about a week ago and it's driving
- me crazy. I'm very watchful now when I pick him up....he's
- likely to suddenly bang his head into my breastbone...or face...
- or nose....really exciting. I've been basically saying "NO!"
- quite vehemently and putting him down and walking away. This
- makes him cry....but, so far....he hasn't seemed to realize
- the connection between the two.....butting....being put down...
- quickly! I'll pick him back up....we'll look into each others
- eyes....I'll say "that's not nice" while shaking my head...he'll
- shake his head "no" too....and then, without warning (I think
- I've got his number now though and am mostly too quick for
- him) he'll do it again!
-
- Oh....and when do they stop eating books?
-
- And when do they stop pulling everything out of the cupboards?
-
- And when do they stop splashing in the toilet?
-
- I could probably go on......he certainly does.....and
- darn cutely too!
