Challenging.
Would you believe that this charming face can throw tantrum after tantrum after tantrum for seemingly no reason? It's true. Chase is going through a very hard phase. Chase likes to be held 24/7. Even when he is being held he's not always happy, he likes to climb to "higher ground", meaning he tries to climb higher on your body all the while whining and crying. It's a lot of fun around here. Today I gave him some quiet time in his crib - a.k.a. - a time out. His look nearly melted me and if it weren't for the steam coming out of my ears I'm sure I would have taken him right back out of his crib and cuddled him. He looked at me with these huge puppy dog eyes with pools of tears in them, his mouth slightly open with his big lip pouting and seemed to say "Mama, why?" He calmed down and was in there about 45 seconds. Chase is a little smarty. He knows what he is doing and loves to have lots of attention, which is what he's been getting with all the whining and crying. We are trying to meet his needs without giving in to whining. It's a tough job this parenting thing. Even though the tough times I love my children more and more each day as they show me new things they've learned, kisses, hugs and just plain love.
