Entertainment?

When I need to be entertained i will o to a movie, play a video game, listen to music, watch a athletic event, or go shopping. I am wondering what we need to do to keep CJ entertained? Cj will not sit down and relax for anything in the world. You can try reading to her and she will begin to get up half way through. If you turn on the music she wants to wreck the computer instead. If you put on some educational television, she will ignore it when she is ready. Now I know she is going to explore but now CJ is becoming a bit much. She gets into everything she should not. She breaks things, and then she still chooses when and when she will not pay you any attention. I know it gets on my nerves but what to do to stop it I do not know.

Professionally I know most of what she does is developmental. However there is a part of her that does what she does for kicks and that line is what I am trying to identify in her. When is CJ developing and when is she being a brat? these are things that do not come in the book and you can not research them. Today I think she began to see the line Daddy was drawing. I had to get very stern with her after she purposely wasted her milk and them got into some salsa from off the table, (How she got that I do not know). Some will say let her be, but Daddy says, "Let us set the parameters." So of course she cried and then wanted to be treated like a baby but Daddy did not give in.

This will be an on going saga between Daddy and CJ. She will want to do everything she should not and Daddy will break out the discipline. So you all pray for this situation. Pray that the line is drawn and recognized by both. CJ and her Daddy believe that prayer changes things, people, and situation!
