Out of the park

Mom spazz mode: When your 19-month-old son seems to have decided that hitting is funny, so you scour the internet and order a bunch of books from Amazon.  Prime two-day delivery is my friend.

Despite feeling like I have a handle on the situation, I'm pretty sure that filling my toolbox was potential tools is always a great idea.  

This is my general thought with parenting.  My first rule is always to listen to my kid -- emotionally and developmentally.  What are my gut reactions to what he needs to turn a situation around?  And, when I get stuck or question my methods, my second rule is to ask my mama friends if they have any other suggestions that have worked.  Since I've done those things and my thought is that if he's hitting the Terrible Twos already, I might be in for a fun toddler-emotional roller-coaster, so perhaps I should start collecting some good resources so I know some potential ways to handle the next situation that comes up.  

Let's do this toddler thing!
