Noah has developed quite a little temper. He gets mad pretty fast if things aren't the way he wants, throwing his head back, yelling, or the reason for this post.....hitting! The other day he got mad at me for wiping his nose, and immediately responded with a slap on my arm! I got surprised, but wanted to jump right on this and tell him how it is. I looked at him very sternly (that's SO HARD for me!) and said, "NO NO!! We do NOT HIT! We have to be soft!" and not even a milli-second later, he flopped his cute little head down on my knee, stuck his fingers in his mouth and then wrapped his other sweet little arm around my leg. Is that not the cutest little sorry you've ever heard of!!!! I was sold. Picked him up and gave him a big hug. Didn't teach him anything, but HOW CUTE IS HE!!! I need some ideas for the hitting problem if it's possible to fix this on a one year old. Never encountered this one.

But Christa, this isn't a new problem, I clearly remember him hitting Charlie quite a bit back on Thanksgiving! ;) j.k. Noah's such a cutie. I can't wait until he and Charlie can have fun playing together... and by then Charlie can defend himself ;)
Ollie just started the same thing! I don't think you did anything wrong by picking him up... you addressed the problem but ended by letting him know that you still love him, but you made it clear by being firm right away that hitting is NOT ok... Ollie was starting to bite and that is exactly what I did and he doesn't bite anymore... Noah obviously got something out of it or he wouldn't have felt bad and hugged you right?
Hey update already...where are you? Hope you had a great Easter!
