So, I usually say how sweet my little Halle is and that she is an angel on earth...blah, blah. I do think those things...but she can seriously make me mad!! I need help from all you amazing moms out there...how do you stop your kidos from hitting people!!?? I thought she just swatted at her baby brother but looks like not. We were at a family "after christmas party" with aunts/uncles/cousins/2nd cousins last night and little Halle Ann was playing with all the little 2 year olds and she started hitting another little girl in the face!! Could I have just about DIED??!! Not hitting her once...but kept swatting at her just because. Of course I said, "Halle, NO hitting." That didn't work at all. Even the Mom was getting irked at Halle. How can my little munchkin be mean!? She has been in time out at home ALL the time for hitting Ash bear...looks like thats not teaching her squat!
So, give me the proven methods on how to tame my little one. That was too embarassing! And, Carina (my psychology mentor) I am calling you today to get the low down into my kids brain. Please tell me this is just a 2 year old phase...and I am not going to have to deal with "anger" issues my whole life.

It's just a stage they go througth, I promise. Remove her from the situation... distract her and tell her we don't hit. Then praise her the next time she is being nice. If you praise the good she will learn what is good and correct behavior.
Yep I agree with "A". Just pick her right up and take her away to be alone for a few minutes. Tell her that she has to be alone to play if she keeps hitting people. She will grow out of this - don't worry! My mom tells me that when I was Halle's age I was the neighborhood bully and loved to hit and push kids around (uh-oh, maybe Halle gets it from her Auntie Lisa!) But I like to think that I've pretty much grown out of it:)
Laura!!! I found your blog from Lindsey Wrights photography blog. I saw those cute kids and knew they had to be yours!! They are adorable just like their mamma!! I cant get over those BLUE eyes!!! We stay at home moms need to get together and play! We are still right down the street.
I have to agree with the above comments, we both know you little halle is an angel!
I worry that Alex has the tendency to be too rough with kids, too. I agree with the time out suggestions. She'll get the picture. Whatever you do, you just have to be consistent. . . this coming from me, the queen of consistency! ;)
What a cute valentines card. Your kiddos are scrumptious! Your auch a cute mommy for being so on top of things! Loves to you and I miss you!!!
