Did that blog post title get your attention?
In the past few weeks my two year old has turned into the biggest whiner in the universe. I can tolerate a lot of things, but I really, really, really hate whining. I just want to poke my eyes out when people whine.
It order to stem the tide of whine I put out some cups of water on the floor and let New Kid have at it.

Do you have a white bathroom sink? If so, I've had a lot of luck with cups in there. The key is to add food coloring to the water!
