Lately, Finn has come on a destructive streak. He wants to make huge messes, pull things off shelves, and throw things, to name a few things. I don't know if it's just a little boy thing but it's driving me crazy. I've tried multiple things. Just talking to him about what he is doing and why we don't. I've tried time outs, making him clean it up and even on occasion a swat on the booty(normally reserved for times of his listening being a matter of danger.)
This morning it came to a boiling point for me. As I was changing over some laundry, I looked up in time to see him standing on the couch throwing our laptop to the floor. I literally had to count to ten twice, followed by immediately putting him in his room until I could react in a level manner. The look on his face after proved that he knew what he just did and knew that I would be upset. I know he is just about to be three and testing boundaries but I'm at such a loss and running out of patience for it. So I'm here asking for any and all advice. Please help a momma out!
