As much as I hate dirt, I have been thinking that Cason would really enjoy a sandbox. I wanted to get him a large sandbox that he could sit in, but Scott didn't want to kill a large portion of his precious grass. Therefore, Cason and I had to settle for a homemade one :)
He really liked it for a short amount of time (just like everything else). He is just too busy to stay in one place or play with one toy for very long. He did try to eat it and quickly discovered that it did not taste good. He mostly loved squishing it in between his fingers---so cute! I kept telling him it was dirt and I even got him to say dirt several times---he is not much of a talker so I was super excited by this! In the past couple of weeks, he has also started saying night, night. I am so glad that he is finally starting to talk more.
On another note, I think I need to check Cason into an anger management class for toddlers---LOL. In the past week, he has started hitting with his little temper tantrums!!!! I just can't even believe it---he is only 15 months old and he stays home with me everyday---where did he possibly learn to do this???????? I have no clue but I hope we can get this under control very quickly. Have any of you moms gone through a similar experience and if so, what did you do to stop this? I would really appreciate any suggestions.

I have not been thru the temper tantums yet, but I just got done reading this wonderful book, "The Happiest Baby on the Block," which has helped Carson with his "witching hour." We thought he had collic but he was just overstimulated. Anyway, this book is really wonderful and the first book the author wrote has won awards. It is called, "The Happiest Toddler on the Block." Maybe it will help you, Scott and Cason! I know I am going to read it. I really love the Baby book and I think the next on will the just as wonderful! Let me know if it helps.
Love Ya, Andrea
Hey! We don't have hitting, but Bella likes to bite and pinch when she is mad. My doc suggested time outs, so I have her pack n play set up in our room so when she does one of them I say 'no we don't do that it hurts and you are going to timeout'. So then I take her there and put her in and leave the room. She isn't supposed to have any toys or anything fun even in site for 1 minute. I think it is 1 minute for each year of their life, so sometimes I go a little over a minute. I don't know if it works, cause she still does it haha, but that is what my doctor said!
