Why?

"Ari, don't put clay on your chalkboard.""Why?""Because it doesn't belong there.""Why?""Because you play with clay at the table, not on the chalkboard.""Why?""Please stop asking 'why?' I don't have another answer.""Why?""Grrrr!"Anyone else experiencing this?

Potty Training Day Two Part Deux- Potty Training and Multi-Tasking Don’t Mix

Despite the yellow paint incident, things were going so well today. I took Ari to the toilet every 30 minutes and he peed each time. He wasn't thrilled about visiting the bathroom so frequently, often screaming "No! No potty!" But he peed and received a toy car when he did; that was alright in his [...]
