But on the serious side, for those of you wrangling your unrulies, have you checked with food additives, dyes, allergies, stuff like that? A friend of mine had a child like that and they have radically changed their diet and continue to see incredible results. It's like a different child. This was incredibly funny.

Sounds like Jenson has lots of company in this world of choosing the wrong places to behave inappropriate. I have one right now, too and can't wait for him to "outgrow" this phase. Of course, he's almost 4 and I'm still waiting! Amen, sister!! Sounds like Jenson has lots of company in this world of choosing the wrong places to behave inappropriate.

I dread piano recitals for this very reason. I think I'll dread all types of recitals until my youngest is at least 8. Then they'll have to make room for me with my walker and oxygen tank.

But I am hoping it isn't like summer in Texas... long, hot, and goes of forever, with frequent recurrances at the most inoportune times. I have 3 that are like Jensen. And the rapidly multiplying gray hairs to show it. ~sigh~ It is a season, to be sure.

We homeschooled ours too (we learned from experience)and never found them the burden that 'schooled' kids parents expected we would. mine are 19 and 17 right now.The oldest is away much of the year and we miss him like mad.

I have never wanted any of my first three children to grow up, but my current 2 year-old is a totally different story. I can't wait to wake up and find that he's four years old!

He was a handful. I remember one snowy Christmas program that my husband offered to take him and our 5 month old baby into the foyer so we could actually capture something besides the screaming toddler in the sound of the video camera (while our 5 year old's class was singing). He was so awful and loud in the foyer that my husband (even though he didn't have anyone's coats and only had a thin blanket for the baby) took him & the baby out to the car (while it was snowing) and strapped the toddler into the car seat for the duration of the program (at least 45 minutes). He was so angry (my dh) by the time we got to the car after the program (probably because the toddler had been screaming non-stop) that I did the disciplining of the naughty willful toddler when we got home. Lucky for the toddler ...... We have a 2 yr old boy now and I don't take him to stuff like that. It is worth the money to pay a babysitter or just stay home LOL We’ve done our share of wrangling with our 2nd son also (who is 11 now). He was a handful.

He's just one year old and I call him "wild man". We're in an incredibly hard phase with him right now and I'm trying to enjoy the ride, all the while wishing I could get off of it, or get on a different one. But we just keep on plugging through.
