Boys will be boys

Yep, it's cold outside, but that doesn't stop Will from wanting to play with leaves, dirt, & sticks. He does have several layers on (& normally a hat)--don't worry!



Here he is practicing his "downward dog" yoga pose. He does this often.


Will has also begun to throw tantrums--major ones. I naively thought this didn't start until the "terrible twos," but when Will doesn't get his way, he goes crazy. He flings his body to the floor, bangs his head, and of course screams. He's very strong-willed, so I've got to figure out how to best deal with that... Being a stay at home mom with only one child, it's obvious why he's so spoiled, but he can't have my undivided attention all the time. After all, a girl's got to use the restroom now and then, ideally without a child either in the room or angrily banging on the door!

Submissive/alpha exercises work on Wallace.

Charlie is pretty spoiled too...not sure what to do about his constant need to be held. It's a new thing for him...let me know if you find anything that works! :)

Will has (maybe) inspired me to try out yoga in the new year (perhaps)
