We have actually tested to see how far outside the house we can hear her. Across the street you can still hear the siren. Bubby is learning from her and isn't content with just an occasional tantrum. He prefers to follow me around the house screaming at me to hold him so that he can wallow me. Thankfully, they are both well behaved in public, but like mentioned earlier sometimes that requires a little threatening. Also, when at home and the kids are acting up, I just take them to their room, tell them they can come out when they stop acting up, and shut the door. Allyssa always comes out and says "I be good." Of course, ten minutes later she is back in her room. Raising kids takes a strong heart, nerves of steele, a crap load of patience, and lots of cotten balls, but it's so worth it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241750306446835734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-72834422706923920152010-11-18T22:59:28.667-06:002010-11-18T22:59:28.667-06:00Wooohoo for you, dear!

It's just their tendency to be more hesitant around people because of their timid natures.

My oldest 2 are very quiet and calm around people, hesitant to try anything new and shy. But, alas, we had Madeline, who is a little spitfire and it feels as if I don't know what I'm doing sometimes. I used to look at other mothers with wild children and think how lucky I am to have such calm children that stay glued to my side and never throw tantrums in public...but then we had Maddie. Never say never. That's what I learned!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305313718032466285noreply@blogger.com
