Over the past few months, we've gone through a tough time with Jacob really beating up his brother. Jacob may be littler, but he's feisty. We've tried many different strategies of trying to curb his roughness with his brother, and praying with and for him to be able to handle his frustrations appropriately. From his perspective, part of the problem is that he wants to be stronger than Andrew, and his logic follows that if he can beat Andrew up, he must be stronger than he is.
So, we came up with a solution. When we thought of it, we thought it was simply another strategy. But, a few months later, we realize it was a great solution, because the "Jacob is beating me up" episodes have all but disappeared.
The solution? Jacob isn't allowed to try and wrestle with Andrew. He's only allowed to try and get stronger muscles by wrestling with Daddy. It's good for both of them...and actually pretty good for Andrew, too!
Now I know that downloading videos take a few extra minutes. But this one, we think, is hysterical. Jacob at his hysterical finest. (Hope that's not just us being biased or something). Enjoy!
