Trouble Maker...

So it comes as no surprise that Alex is mischievous but here recently he has crossed over the line to actually being bad. This week in particular. All the Easter festivities (I will post about them separately) messed up his sleep routine a bit on Saturday and Sunday and caused us to have quite the cranky baby on our hands. Hitting when he was told not to do something, hitting just to get a reaction, whinning, fussing, just being contrary. This continued into Monday and he got into some trouble at Sandy's, losing sleep dog and paci at nap time and even not being allowed to go to Poppy's for the afternoon. Tuesday he improved and has continued to all week. Hopefully he is getting the message that behavior like that isn't tolerated by anyone.

At Sandy's, punishment is time-out and if it is really bad, time-out in the hallway. She sent me this picture one day of him in the hallway after hitting one of the other kids. I had to laugh at the look on his face. He is such a mess. We will have our hands full for years to come!
