Those hours of being a big kid really seemed to do wonders. Wonders, not miracles though. In fact had I known that my son's preschool runs a camp for kids two mornings a week and they only have to be 2.9 I would have seriously considered it.Alex Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567976812466320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-74643704569768354752008-06-23T09:43:00.000-05:002008-06-23T09:43:00.000-05:00Have her draw a picture for C.C. while she's sleep...Have her draw a picture for C.C. while she's sleeping so that she'll have something nice to wake up to. Have her think of a song to sing to her when she wakes up but make her practice it in her room. Put baby in swing in a place where she can't go? Say bedroom with kiddie gate in doorway and baby on other side of room?. I had twins so I don't really know what to tell you. How do you keep two babies who can't walk yet from pulling each other down off the couch every time they pull up?<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the distraction methods...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-63820177589221003092008-06-23T08:25:00.000-05:002008-06-23T08:25:00.000-05:00I have to agree with mom101.

Soon she'll be stealing toys and pushing her over when she first sits up and screaming that the baby is going to take her food. <BR/><BR/>But I so remember the days you're going through, and they are sweet and frustrating at the same time. Wait - most of what's to come fits that same description, too. <BR/><BR/>Any way you could convince Chicky that CC really doesn't like dust, so could she please take that swiffer cloth and dust anything she can reach? Or is that against child labor laws in your state?Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345875955750219033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-11452724395840848602008-06-23T07:12:00.000-05:002008-06-23T07:12:00.000-05:00Oh don't worry, she'll outgrow the squeezing in no...Oh don't worry, she'll outgrow the squeezing in no time and soon she'll just want to take Caroline's toys.

I don't know how you do it... But even if you're snapping daily, know you would not be alone!
