I wish I could talk like that sometime "I don't want you here right now so just leave. Not only the room but the house". Such a spunky attitude. I love it. I'm sure it can get frustration for you at times though. <br />The hard times do seem to try and take over but you do what you just did this weekend and try to focus just on the good times.

This is what we women do that keeps us sane. I have one girlfriend I will call when I think my head is going to explode and I just rant for as long as it takes to get it out. Once we calm down then yes, we can focus on the good things. I think that "bye" thing of Claire's is hilarious!

For Bridget's sake, I don't think it's wrong to put Claire in a room by herself immediately after she does this. How does Claire respond when you show your displeasure after she has bitten? I know someone who had the same problem and after biting would quickly take a water spray bottle and quickly spray her in the face, kneel down and look face to face and give a firm "NO!" Hope that might help.

Funny you should bring this up, though, because just yesterday I was thinking about how WONDERFUL it is to be at that point. Actually, we're at the point where I can say, "Samantha was reading in her room upstairs while I was on the computer in the dining room." Omg, it's such a sweeeet feeling when it comes, but have patience, it *will* come...eventually. Just wait till you get to take a shower when you're the only adult home and the kids are AWAKE! It's a super-sweet feeling. I don't say this to rub it in, I'm just saying it because it took a long time to get there and I remember how tired I was before that. :-)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390107437127298472.post-69452317861229866812013-03-01T14:41:45.566-07:002013-03-01T14:41:45.566-07:00I wish I had advice for you too.

I remember crazy battles with Kyle that were for nothing -- until we found he's sweet spot and punished him accordingly. Don't be afraid to try new things until you find what works for Claire.
