This morning we went to church and Olivia did great. She did a little talking but overall it was pretty good.
After church she was a bit whiny but I think she was just hungry. She ate some banana and some cheese while we had some brunch. Then we did some paper reading and coffee time.
After Olivia's nap today we decided to watch the dvd of The Happiest Toddler of the Block. We watched The Happiest Baby on the block before Olivia was born and used a lot of the strategies while she was a baby. The dvd was ok. The strategies were alright. It talked about using a language called "toddler-ese." Basically repeating back to them what they are saying or doing. This kind of worked tonight during dinner time. We have struggled for a long time with dinner and getting her to sit somewhere and not in my lap. So when she started whining tonight I did the "toddler-ese" and it somewhat worked. I guess we will try some of the other strategies and we will see if they work.

It's all about trying out a variety of things to see what works.
Although toddlers being toddlers what might work today won't tomorrow :)
Good luck ?

I agree..every day is different! What works one day doesn't always work all the time. Some of the strategies have worked and some haven't. The Happiest Baby was a great and we used the strategies all the time...these not so much!
