Again, I'm late on my Creation Monday posts. I just love them so much I don't want to get rid of them.
This week I'm aware that I have created an M....
I'm not sure if I want that to stand for Monkey or Monster!
I would use both of these words to describe this little man depending on the time of day. Monkey has a more playful ring to it so I will use that during the waking hours when my son is getting into "mischief" (he's not at the development stage where I can say he is doing this I don't think) or is being his cute little wild self.
After I desire to go to sleep or if I have not had much sleep or am feeling particularly frustrated, I will call my son a "monster." One that I have probably helped create!
This kid will scream when he wants something or is determined to do what he wants and not have me hinder him.
I've helped to create:
A monkey or monster at night
An M at eating time
An M at bath time
An M on the change table
An M when he's frustrated
An M when he's tired.
I'm not sure at this stage how much I can do for discipline because he is still young but I do want to set boundaries... I'll just seek to learn what's appropriate at this age.

Suz I hear you - I've created an M too! Especially at this stage where he's crawling around and getting into things he's not supposed to.
I've just been saying a firm "no" and then redirecting him. Later I'd like to do emotional coaching but he's too young for that, although I talk him through it anyways :)
