Our second oldest child is about to celebrate his 13th birthday while our family is under quarantine, due to the Coronavirus outbreak. We discuss Dexter’s difficult toddler years, and how much things have changed since those hard years.

Specific topic discussed in this episode:

(1:00) New term of homeschooling is starting, we’re trying not to stress.
(1:45) Our plans to go to Yellowstone for Spring Break, and what happened to them.
(3:45) Our second oldest child is about to be a teenager.
(5:30) Rochelle told Dexter we could watch It: Chapter Two for his birthday.
(7:00) Dexter is the funny one in our family.
(8:30)Age 2 to 7 for Dexter were hard on us because he was so strong willed and drove us crazy.
(9:30) How we managed a difficult toddler by trading off duties.
(12:30) Ivy became the peacemaker because of Dexter’s temper tantrums.
(14:45) One on one time with Dexter was always pleasant, even when he was at his worst time of toddlerhood. Scott tells a story about making his parents take Dexter for a week to give us a break.
(18:00) Rochelle tells a story about Ivy having a medical procedure and taking a bunch of crying kids to the doctor, and wanting to break down as well.
(21:00) Luckily Dexter grew out of his pain-in-the-ass-ness.
(23:00)Dexter is super smart, sort of athletic, and just awesome these days.
(25:15) Dexter taught me to be a better mother by forcing me to be more patient and loving.
(27:00) We think that part of the reason why Dexter is so great is because he was so hard when he was younger, and also why we like him so much now.
(27:30) He used to have ticks that he would do over and over again for several months, then it would switch to a new tick.
(29:00) He no longer has ticks, but now he says certain phrases or words over and over for months, then switch to a new phrase or word. It’s much less annoying than his other ticks.
(31:15) We are so grateful that Dexter turned into who he is, because he is really so great.
