Adaptation and Flexibility Are Key

The family seems really nice and the boys are adorable. Lucas the oldest is reserved and very into the weather. Logan the younger brother is, it seems like another younger sibling.
They play well together for the most part. And then there are those times that they hurt each other and want to take revenge for the scratch accidently or not. I am trying to teach them that hitting is bad, and especially if you do it in anger. Logan has a problem with that. He gets mad very quickly and then will hit. And within five minutes the anger has passed.
Even after a week he has begun stopped hitting as much as he did on Monday. With time-outs and being sent to his room, I think he is understanding a little more that hitting is bad.
Lucas has a problem of blowing things out of proportion. Everything becomes life or death and personal. He thinks that everything Logan does is to pick or make fun of him. I have seen an improvement of that as well. I do not know if it has been a matter or attention or not but, I believe I am making a difference.
Like I said Lucas is into the weather, I mean he watches the weather channel all the time. When we went on a bike ride on Monday he pointed out where flooding would happen on streets and at parks. He will tell me when it will rain, or not. It is really funny how excited he gets about the weather. Logan is all about flips and running around. He is a bundle of energy that never has to recharge his batteries.
