since lawton had been sick, he missed the first day of preschool - i wanted to keep him home even though he was feeling better and was no longer running a fever.
cut to day two, his first of preschool.
i loved everyone's pictures of their kids on FB and blogs in their new clothes, smiling on the front steps of their house and school, everyone looked so excited and moms, you looked organized! grrrr ;)
not this kid. we heard about 1000 "i don't want to's!!!" yesterday morning. like, enough to make you want to stick your head in the door and slam it.
"bubs, eat your breakfast" - i don't want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"let's put on your shoes" - i don't want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"let's pick up your toys" - i don't want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"hey, let's take a picture for your first day" - i don't want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there were also a lot of NO'S involved.
you get the picture.
this earned him a major time out. and no cars for 24 hours. all them put away.
i have to admit, lawton is a good kid. really good. doesn't get punished often. the whining lately has gotten OUT.OF..CONTROL. enter punishment.
we finally put the smack down. things are getting taken away. dinner is at the table with us, NO TV.
i had to do what i could with a newborn and am going to try my best to stick with it.
wish me luck.
SO, here we are! the only pics i could get.
he has just finished crying and is saying cheese.
pitiful huh? but still handsome ;)
when i got home, i downed some advil. wished it was a beer. don't judge.
today was a much better morning. but i still have a headache. getting everyone ready to get out of the house by 8:45 is NOT an easy task. thank goodness i feel secure going in the same clothes i had on yesterday to drop him off ;) just kidding, i changed tops ;)
The pictures still are really, really cute. If it makes you feel better, I think I had to bribe Aidan to take his pictures up until this year. You are not alone!
