Miller and his temper

Miller plays hard, laughs often, smiles, gives hugs a lot, but has a little bit of a temper. We don't really know where he got this from. If we tell him no or pop his leg for repeatedly telling him "NO", he will lay on the floor gently and pop his head on the floor sometime 2 or three times. Anyone have any suggestions. We just try to ignore him. Then he will cry. I am pretty good at ignoring him, but Trevor can't stand to see him sad. So Daddy is the hero, but also the sucker. Hopefully this we will grow out of!

This dad is the hero and the sucker too. :)

My brother used to do the same thing as Miller... bang his head on the floor and scream when he didn't get his way. My mom said she would just ignore him, and he eventually grew out of it.

Hey Katie! So glad you finally got your blog up! Now we can keep up better on what Miller and you guys are up to. Sometimes Greyson does this whole show too. We just try to ignore him, which is what our doc recommended.

Katie, Reid has a temper right now too. I think it's just a "terrible two's" phase that started around 18 months with Reid. I completely ignore as well and it's so hard b/c he can shrill scream or seem so sad. I think that's the best thing they say to do, although Reid can keep it going for 20 min. CRAZY!
