Today we had Aknowledge your friend day at school and celebrated by making pancakes, eggs and soy bacon together. It was a delight and Ben really enjoyed it.
We did have one pulling hair episode that warrented a time out, but I kept my cool and redirected Ben to a chair away from friends while he gathered himself. Apparently, right before he goes to sleep at night, he replays my scolding him to Alex, holding his cheeks and saying "no stop it, no no no!" This report broke my heart and inspired me to get a grip and remember the lil guy isn't even two and i gotta lighten up for his sake.
The other little guys in class are doing the same things-pushing hitting, pulling and it is important for me to keep this in mind when I get upset. I tend to go harder on him and expect more cause he's mine and that's not exactly fair.
We started a new nightly ritual of ball catch and throw after Ben's bath. The three of us toss around the little green ball or his Nerf football which Ben often bites. This is by far Ben's favorite activity-he goes nuts and runs around the house like a maniac. Not exactly conducive to zzz's but hey it's fun!
