Lately I have been having a really rough time getting the girls to leave Annalina alone when she is sleeping! They are constantly loving on her too much! Honestly maybe the better way to say it is, they are going to love her to death. I had tried time outs, redirection, spanking, yelling, pulling my hair out, going crazy literally.... With no change. I was so frustrated and really at my wits end. That the next step was going to be just cry all day long. However, when a huge problem occurred yesterday and I called my mom to pray with me a thought came into my mind. Teach them with eggs.
So this morning the girls and I talked about activities they do with Annalina. I then had them drop their raw eggs into bowls. Jessa's egg cracked and all the yolk ran out quickly. Anaya's egg didn't crack so then she picked at it until it opened and all The egg white ran out. We compared their eggs to Jessa's being the egg dying. Adaya's egg had brain damage and we talked about this is how it is when they are being too rough with Annalina.
We then talked about the things babies need like milk,move, and sleep which was water and a pot. We then let our baby sleep so she could grow. We then did the same activities as we had done before but when we were able to take Annalina out of her she'll she was full and healed and wasn't cracked. Jessa seemed to really get it. So our code for when the girls are being too rough is EGG! Let's hope it works.
