But she is more than capable. It leaves me scrambling as to what to do. For now, every time she hits me (or Sammy) I pick her up, take her to her room, put her in her crib and talk to her about not hitting. I walk away, let her think about it for a minute, then come back in and tell her to tell me (or Sammy) "sowwy" and give me (or sammy) a kiss.
I don't know what I'm doing but like a lot of things we do in this house, repetition will hopefully favor me in the end. We shall see.
On a more positive note, tonight she held up two sippy cups and shouted "TWO!!!" plain as day. Chaz and I looked at each other stunned and of course celebrated as if KD scored the winning shot in overtime. She never ceases to amaze us.
I don't think my heart has enough room for all the love I have for this little gal. :)

Stick with it! The last couple weeks, I am finally seeing that all the consistency in discipline and teaching is paying off and it only took 3 years! Ha! I guess it will take many more!
Finn had a little hitting phase and being consistent helped us. He also learned really quick that it hurt and I think that's why he stopped. He hugs me now if he accidentally hits or drops something, its precious!!
