Me no longer..



So yesterday after 4.5 weeks is me no longer.. My cast was taken off and I am now only wearing an ankle brace!! For the first time since then can I keep up with M walking down the hallway. Since I have had this cast put on my son started walking fast/running down the hall. So he would usually get mad at me for not keeping up. :-D but yesterday that ended! We now can walk down together. That makes us both happy.. It's so funny how little things can make me so happy. He is teaching me that I need to be an example. Because he is starting to copy us. And trying to talk more and more with actual words. :-D

For instance he is going through this phase of biting people. IF I point my finger at him and tell him no he'll try and bit the closest thing. We found it funny and I would nibble on his finger, leg or tummy to make him laugh. Well that's ended on Monday when I found out he bit another child at daycare! So now we are not doing anything that would be bad so he won't do it. How do you discipline a almost 16 month old?? and to make it a way where he understands.. We try to put on time out.. But the kid will try and get up or hit me. Of course as this is happening I am saying hitting is bad. No doing that and tell him to say sorry. But how do you really teach right from wrong? I have been thinking about this since Monday and will be doing some research as to what the 'experts' have to say..
