Justin has always had trouble swallowing pills so he takes children's chewable vitamins. He prefers dinosaurs. While doing my hair today, I heard suspicious noises coming from the kitchen. I found Nolan sitting on the counter eating Dad's chewable vitamins. He says, "yummy tweat." He plunged his hand in the bottle and grabbed a handful because he knew I was coming to take them away. I quickly took those away, but we don't know how many he managed to eat. I don't even know how he got on the counter. The chairs were neatly tucked under the table! Here is the scene of the crime:
Yesterday, Nolan and I road with some friends to Park City to look for movie stars (Sundance is going on). We didn't see any, but Nolan enjoyed seeing the sights on Main Street and I enjoyed my salad at Cafe Rio. I was completely exhausted when I got home because Nolan was either begging for treats or slapping me in the face during lunch and the car rides. Does anyone have advice for dealing with hitting? We always hold his arms tightly against his body, firmly tell him no, and if we're home we put him in his bedroom. This is not working and the slaps are really starting to sting. I don't think we'll be taking him to restaurants for a while. It's a rough stage.

What a little "pill"! That boy keeps you on your toes, doesn't he? He is so cute though...good thing I guess, huh. The whole hitting thing, I don't know what to tell you cuz Carter doesn't do that, and hopefully never will. I feel for you though when you're strugglin with something like that as a mom and are not sure what to do about it. Good luck and if you need a break bring him over!!
By the way, I voted for a GIRL! I really think that's what you going to have...can't wait to find out for sure though in a couple weeks. So exciting!
It could be a stage, but I'm reading a book right now called "Love and Logic" and Nolan is right at the perfect age to really start working on behavior stuff they suggest in the book, it's worth a try : ).
What did Justin say when you told him you posted on the blog about his Dinosaur vitamins???lol. I did the same thing as a child, nothing happen, well maybe something did, sometimes I feel a litle off!!!lol. (If you even have a worry, about those kind of things you can always call Kent.)
Yikes! Ethan once found Kyle's over-the-counter Claritin in his backpack and can you believe that it wasn't childproof. I think I caught him before he tried any. Childproofing seems impossible. I'm sure glad I don't have to worry about Brooklyn yet!
Haley can not swallow a pill to save her life! I was hoping she would grow out of it, but if Justin still can't...
Is your title to the post a reference to Clue?
Hmm, how do I delete this post?
Looks like you had fun in Park City!
Cora has binged on teething tablets and advent calendar candy... no vitamins yet :)... so here's to hoping that's as minor as it gets!
I've always wanted to go to the film Festival.. Lucky!! :)
Not that its the most fun, but we flip their hands when they wouldn't listen. It may not be the nicest thing (flipping them when we tell them not to hit) but both Emma and Rachel stopped doing the same to us.
I agree, I enjoyed my salad from Cafe Rio, too. Park City was fun! I can't believe Nolan is strong and smart enough to get up on the counter without a chair...too sneaky! Atleast it was Justin's children's chewable vitamins...it could have been worse! :)
