Little a. has been showing his independence lately...lots of "nooooooo mommy" and "DOOONNN'T" with the accented determination of a demonic monkey. His personality is generally happy and mellow, but at times...the stubbornness of a mule shows through. (Does he get this from his father? No, his mother AND his father most likely...)
Now, the little stinker (as he's so lovingly called) has been having some big issues sitting down and eating. About 5 minutes into his dinner, he declares "mommy, heowp" (help) with the most pathetic tone you ever did hear. Tonight he was having a grand time blowing his green juice out as he drank it...and did I mention, it was green?! Thus, a big mess. Then general silliness and disaster ensues between the stinker and the big brother. Lots of spitting and throwing of food items. Lots. Lots of no's.
Tonight, J. had to put the discipline hammer down. Something we really haven't had to deal with yet with this one. J. got up and held little a's chin in his hand to get his attention...little a. was in mid "noooooooo(BUuURrP!)" and then started laughing at himself. L.j. got going...I couldn't help it, I looked at J. and the giggles won.
Oops, missed out on that important discipline opportunity. :)
