About a week ago, Brady started (what I call) squawking when something happened that he didn't like. This could be as simple as Aidan touching him. Every day the squawking became louder and more frequent. I thought a teradactyl had moved in! After several days of squawking, we finally had enough and anytime he did it, I would quickly swoop him up and put him in his crib for a time-out. So effective was this method, that after two days, this happened...sqawking occured and Drew responded with, "Do you want to go to your room?" and he actually said "Yes" and proceeded down the hall to his room. After getting over the shock, I went to rescue him. He was crying holding onto the crib as if waiting to be put in. The day after that, I just told him to go to his room when he squawked and he did. When I went to get him, I found him in his crib. Later that day after another sqawking incident, I followed him without him knowing. That kid went in his room, got on a step stool, got on the night stand by his bed, and flopped into the crib to take his time-out.
The result of all of this has been a almost squawk-free house in only about 5 days!
Ha!
