Not saying "xyz" is what you should do, but if you're interested I can pass some of that along. Audrey was way worse than Allie but eventually Allie started picking things up from her, so it was time to try something new.<br /><br />How tall is the gate? We have an extra tall one we found at petsmart that they have yet to get over.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117769049418358905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329359309216641780.post-50355319793131881942011-06-02T11:27:40.352-07:002011-06-02T11:27:40.352-07:00Micah is giving us a run for our money with the te...Micah is giving us a run for our money with the terrible twos, too! I don't have any good answers about the temper tantrums...Micah is King of the fits these days. He says "I don't want this" and will throw a fit about foods, or insisting on watching tv or wanting to play with my iphone. It is definitely a challenge, but I think consistency is somehow important. A friend suggested making a chart with certain times of day things can be done...and trying to get them to understand that they can't do x or y until they have stars on the other areas of the chart. We still haven't tried that idea yet. As for the gate...Micah seems to be pretty safe on the stairs anymore, so I don't worry about the gate as much (for him). I think I started to feel that way over the past 2 or 3 months. We have one at the top and one at the bottom of the steps, so there are 2 hurdles for him to get through. He has a harder time with one of the gates than the other. Can they open doors? Maybe you just let them go up and down and start keeping all the doors closed upstairs? If you can keep the baskets out of the way, maybe they'll just stop climbing when the fun wears off...<br /><br />TkeysMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268690872654358064noreply@blogger.com
