Sometime last week Dexter started what we now call The Dexter Hulk. It is a LOUD, frustrated, fists clenched, scream.
This is not the first time he has “expressed” himself. Remember tummy time? (here), (here) and (here)
Back in the tummy-time-days we creatively moved him around until he was happy. But now our strategy to curb this obnoxious new phase is a simple, stern no.
It is sort of working. I think. Or maybe he has just had other distractions the last few days. I don’t know … but any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
The Dexter Hulk in full action ... in public.
Maybe a basket of pan de bono would be a good distraction.
He likes that ... remember? (here)
The Dexter Hulk returns. Pan de bono was NOT what he wanted.
Back to the "NO" strategy.
Grandpa Arled's strategy:
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

Yes, Grandpa is quite the character … and Dex is following in his footsteps! =)
I think the whole problem is Grandpa. But that’s just me.
lol, you might be on to something! This all DID start right around Grandpa’s arrival to Mexico =)
phase 1 of 1 million before he turns 18. Stay strong and be consistent. This too shall pass……. until phase 2 starts.
