It's okay to talk...
I don't know where she gets it from, but she is quite the talker. She preaches about this and that and the other and babbles on and on and on about nothing. It's become quite the norm especially at meal times.
Here she is telling us about why she can't eat her last two Cheerios. She's trying to hid them from us by putting them out of her sight, right next to the edge of her tray.
But it's not okay to yell.
So for the past week or so every time we sit down to dinner, she of course gets her Cheerio appetizer and then we all eat our meal together. She usually just has whatever we are having unless it's too spicy or what not. Well lately as soon as she gets a bit of her dinner she begins to yell. Different from screaming, her yelling is not high pitched or angry it's just very, very, very loud. So she's made it a habit to yell during dinner. Great. Of course we tell her "Alyssa, stop!" or "You need to be quiet!" etc. But of course that doesn't stop her, she just continues on. So lately Luke is like, well every time she opens her mouth to yell I'm just going to shove some food in her mouth. Right. So he does this and we both laugh and Alyssa just looks at us like 'huh, okay', eats her bite and attempts to yell again, but of course Luke is there with the spoon shoveling it in. But then eventually she has so much food in her mouth she can't really chew AND she still manages to yell. So eventually we have to call dinner quits and take her out of her chair and put her on the floor to play.
So suggestions welcome...comment below.
Yes Alyssa, do you have a suggestion?
