Lovey & Naughty

Grady is definately a mixture of Lovey and Naughty right now!  He can be so nice and sweet and "tries" to be a loving brother, but then he can also be so naughty. 

Nice things:
1.  He loves to take Brynlee his blankets and stuffed animals!  He covers her up with both of his blankets and throws all of his stuffed animals on her until you can't even see her anymore.  Then he wants to lay right next to her/on her.  I love it when he takes her his blankets because I know that means he is being very nice and loving to give up his own blankets! 
2.  He says "Thank you Mommy/Daddy" all of the time without being asked to. 
3.  He starts talking about all of the people he knows (especially Dominic, Isaac, Luke, Grandpa, and Becky) when we are in the car and wants me to take him to go see those people. 
4.  When I am laying in bed with him he rolls over to hug me and kiss me.  :)
There are more nice things he does I just can't think of any specific examples right now! 

Naughty things:
1.  He has bitten Brynlee twice now.  Once was "maybe" fake, we couldn't tell.  Once was FOR REAL and left 2 bruised teeth marks on her finger, which she still has 3 days later....  That was very naughty! 
2.  He already blames Brynlee for when he gets hurt.  Yes, it has started already and she is 6 weeks old!  The other day he had stumbled into the couch and fell down.  He turned to Brynlee and said, "Don't push Brynlee!"  What a brat.  Can you imagine what it will be like when she is old enough to actually do things to him???? 
3.  He screams/yells all the time!  We have REALLY been trying to put a stop to this.  Of course he screams when he is mad or excited about something especically, but he also yells for his normal talking/conversation/ when he wants something.  I'm sure it is just another mechanism to get our attention and make sure he is heard, but it is getting to be soooo annoying!  We have done lots of modeling on talking in a normal voice, which does help at the time. 
4.  He throws a fit if you do something that he thinks he needs to do. Such as:  flush the toilet, turn off the lights, get a diaper for himself, get his clothes for himself, turn off the TV, get his shoes, get his own snack, etc.  The degree of fit varies, but it is usually running around screaming. 
5.  He takes Brynlee's things and throws them or runs away with them and hides them under the ottomon.  He especially likes to take her pacifier, socks, and medicine.  This has actually gotten much better the past couple weeks, he did this more when she first came home.  And of course, thinks he is being hilarious! 

With summer 3 days away I am REALLY hoping that naughty list continues to get shorter and the nice list gets longer!!  :)  We are going to have a "mini boot camp" the first week or 2.....
