lil' miss is now 17.5 months and her personality is totally shining through. she is very feisty, and by that i mean she wants what she wants, and now! each day brings a new challenge for me, i try my best to stick to my guns but sometimes i just burst out laughing when she brings out lil' miss feisty. i mean look at the picture above, and i am sure you know which one i mean! how could you not just totally crack up at that!
for instance, when she is playing with her toys and one toy gets stuck she will full out pull that toy until she is all red in the face and screaming at the top of her lungs! and does this girl have lungs! wow! when she screams i feel like i am in the nut house! literally, it makes me wanna pull out my hair! i try my best to explain to her that i will help her get it, and to calm down. she will also get quiet time when it gets too bad!
this month we added 10 seconds onto her quiet time, so now she is at 20 seconds total. she seems to do real well with quiet time so far. i would love to hear from you other moms that are implementing quiet time. how long do you set it for, etc? i might be totally off base with the time but we just went with what seemed best for her. we started implementing quiet time right around 1 year old, and she picked it up very quickly.
my days would not be nearly as fun without lil' miss feisty showing off her little personality! love my girl!

Too cute! We can be in the nut house together!! Lol. I do minutes per age. My girls get two minutes of time out. :). My Mia is feisty too. Good grief! Very bossy. I try not to laugh. Lol. That's the joy of motherhood. Good job mama!!

Lexi is the same way- they would be great friends! When she cries like that, it stresses me out! Lol it is so loud and high pitched! Samantha is a doll though. Quiet time? What do you mean? Like time Out?
