Here are a few things that happened recently:
Dirty tub:
A couple of days ago I was giving the kids a bath, I took Alexis out of the tub, and was getting her dressed, when I heard a splash. I ran back into the bathroom to find the floor covered in water, thank you West. It took me five towels to clean up all of the water. After I cleaned up the water I went back to finish dressing Alexis, and Jack yells "Mom, West just pooped in the tub." I had already cleaned one of his poopy diapers, before he got in the tub, so I was thinking that it would not be too awful, but boy was I wrong. It was horrid! Jack's reaction was quite funny though. Jack stood up on his tip toes and said, "This is a bad reality, this is a bad reality." I think that Jack's reaction is the only reason I did not lose it!
Jack's Temper:
Monday I asked Jack to put his socks and shoes on, so that he could get ready for the bus. On his first attempt his toe got stuck, and he thought he was going to die, he started screaming, "I can't do it, mom do it for me." I told him that he needed to calm down by taking a deep breath, and try again. Well that did not work, he went crazy. I tried to ignore him, because when he gets like that, there is nothing I can do to calm him down. After about 5 minutes, he said, "Mom you know that picture on the wall of you and dad? Well you look really bad in it, you don't look nice at all." I took a deep breath and sent him to his room to cool down, Man he is four, where does he come up with this stuff? Needless to say he screamed and cried for a good twenty minutes.
At least Alexis is calm!
