It has occured to me recently that Brandon tantrums are a lot less. When he is having one he actaul is learning how to have them appropriately. Now some whould say how do you have an appropriate tantrum.??
Well, it used to be he would hit and scream and bang his head. Now he is able to say what is upsetting him (some of the times) and he is leaving before he can hurt anyone and he is going outside and jumping on the small tramperline. Or hits some tennis balls. He is maturing in some ways. Last night when he begam so overwhelmed he cried and cried. He had to be told to lay in his sleeping area and he wept. Then he was able to get over his obsession of something that really wasnt' there but thought he would need. Another trait we are starting to work. Obsessing over what his brother has and he thinkgs he has to have.

What may sound like little steps to others feels like very big steps when you are the mom!
We have the same obsessing thing in our house too. Ben is an accumulator & his room is full of stuff, but if Maggie has one thing that he doesn't, he just can't deal with it. It does sound like things are getting better with age, here too
