Chaos,

mine is named Coleman. Lexy's fam applaud that we finally have a 'normal' child.I am afraid to go to the bathroom because I do not know what he will get into or do while he is not being supervised, so I have started bringing him into the bathroom with me-another brilliancy moment from Lex, we are potty training afterall. So here is an example of this kids determination: we have found that timeout for his toys is as effective, if not more than putting him on timeout. Lex put one of his toys on the top of a bookshelf on our main floor family room and then watched him pull a chair from our kitchen to it, stand on it and find that he could not reach, then he went upstairs and got a stool that is in the kids bathroom upstairs so that they can wash their hands. He sets the stool on top of the chair and climbs up to the top to find the toy is still out of reach, not to be phased, he then goes downstairs and gets his toy lightsaber, with it in hand, Luke Skywalker would have been proud of this young padawon, he climbs back on top of the stool that is staked on the chair and triumphantly knocks the toy from the bookself.These problemsolving abilities will serve you well young one if you are able to survive to adulthood.
