Fighting

Grrr...The boys have been fighting ALL morning! What is the deal?? I knew that they would fight from time to time, but I surely did not think it started this young! They love each other and can be very sweet with each other, but some days, they cannot seem to agree on ANYTHING! Well, this is one of those days...and Mommy is not so much loving it! I tried separating them and making them play in separate rooms by themselves and Kelton cried for his little brother. I read them some books and that calmed them down some. These boys love to read! :) Anyways...any advise on fighting and how to handle it???

Im sorry! I wish I had some advice but I have no idea what to do. It will only be a matter of time until we are there. Hope things get better!

Hey Ashley, did you find any cute clothes at target?? my nephew liked the gift adrian and i bought from there! i don't have any advice on the fighting, but hey my sisters and i fought plenty, but i always loved them very much! it's just a sibling thing! ha (but i'm sure it's still frustrating)

Girl, if you ever figure it out let me know. Caden and Jace have been fighting ALOT lately. They both want to sit in the same chair, drink out of the same cup, play with the same toy, etc. I think that Jace's terrible two's are just making it worse!

GIRL!!! I so know what you are talking about!! I am always at a loss for what to do as well when that happens!! maybe we should do some research :) Anwyay, I think you did the right thing! I have found that mine fight more often when I am busy doing stuff around the house and their "pretend wrestling" turns into real wrestling!! Usually, if I sit down with them and do something (like you did) it helps....unfortunately we can't just sit and play ALL day long, can we???
They also seem to be worse when we can't play outside, so sometimes I will just chase them around the house for a bit to get the energy out of them!!
It is such a blessing to be a momma, especially a momma of boys, but it sure does get wearing, huh?? I will be praying for your patience today :)

p.s. did you get my e-mail?
