Well, A has made some great progress in the last 2 weeks. For the last couple weeks at church nursery drop off, even though A still cries, but we have not been paged meaning he doesn't cry for very long. And today, at MOPS, I dropped him off and he didn't even cry. Though, the worker said he did cry little bit during his stay there. Thank GOD for that!!!
Also, I started having A do "room time" as suggested by toddler wise. First couple times, even though he stayed in his room, he cried almost the entire time. Not the scream cry, but just sad /whining cry. But he is a really good boy for staying in his room until the timer goes off and I come and get him. Mind you, the room is not locked and he can easily come out. In fact, the door is not even shut. I started with 5 minutes and am now up to 15 minutes. Yesterday, he wanted to bring some Elmo books to his room for "room time" so of course I let him. And he didn't cry. So yeah!!! Thank God for that too!
Another thing that was suggested in Toddler Wise is getting them to agree with you by saying, "Yes, Mommy". So I have been teaching A that. He has been really receptive to that. When I ask him to say it, he always does. And he understands too. Contrast that to the same boy who says "NO" a lot to his sister. I probably should teach him to say, Yes, jiejie to his sister and to daddy/brother. He is def. quite obedient to me. I think more than 75% of the time. Since I say wait to A alot, now he is starting to say that when he wants to do something and I want to hurry it along. Cute. :)
So all in all, A is doing really well. I will have to try him at the gym child center again. Last time I dropped him off, he cried for an hour. Screaming in the beginning, then sobbing on and off most of the time. So we'll see how he do next time.
It seems A have a sensitive nap schedule. I have found he really to be in bed by noon, otherwise he will fall asleep in the car and then the 5-15 minutes in the car will be it. So I had to change somethings around, namely leaving early and skipping some stuff to ensure A can be in bed by 12.
Spring is here, so I have been taking A outside more. He loves to ride in his wagon or pull the wagon himself.
