Well, as I mentioned we are working on "gentle touch," as in, no hitting. Instead of saying no hitting we tell Maxwell the type of behavior we want to see. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. He is usually very gentle with Isabelly, but last night things got a little owie. I think he forgets, or doesn't realize she is smaller and slightly more fragile then his other, bigger friends.
As she was crawling out of his "fort" made with balnkets and the dining room chairs, he pushed her forward and she busted her lip.
She cried a little, then was over it pretty quickly. Maxwell had a timeout and apoligized. As an only child this kind of thing is new to me. Terry as the 4th of 5 children, experienced this stuff pretty regularly.
Here she is obviously not all that upset. A homemade grape juice popsicle as an ice bag makes all the difference.
Still a sweet, if lop-sided smile and ready to play some more.
Getting loves from daddy.
It won't be the only one, I am sure. She wants so much to do what Maxwell is doing. Maybe we will increase her insurance!
