PROGRESS!!!

Almost every day for a straight week Jackson would ask to go outside by the pool. We would go outside and after being told not to throw anything into the pool he would immediately throw something. . .you guessed it. . .into the pool. So, each time I would explain that because he choose to do that we had to go inside and not come back out for the rest of the day. He would cry, I would tell him that I wished he would have made a better choice and yada yada yada. Each day for 7 days that is what happened. Then on the 8th day. . .a miracle. We went outside and he picked up a stick and walked over to the pool. I looked at him and he said "no no mama!" and threw the stick behind him, AWAY from the pool. Every day since then he has picked up something and said "no no mama" and thrown it away from the pool. This may not seem big but this is major progress for Jackson to not act so impulsively. Yippee for the not at all fun but very effective consistent discipline from mommy!
