This Boy…
August 4, 2010
Cheese!
This boy challenges me in ways I never could have expected. I am his favorite at the moment and any other adult is just not acceptable. During one-on-one time he is the most fabulous child. He laughs and plays, he is helpful and happy and cooperative. And then life returns to normal with additional family members and my little guy gets so upset. He is obstinate and uncooperative and just plain grumpy. He is our high and low child. When he is good he is oh so good but when he is mad, oh boy watch out. Regardless of the highs and lows I am so totally in love with him – even when he hits me and calls me “bad mommy”. Apparently I can just give him a chocolate cupcake and all is forgiven…
LOL, must be a second child thing:-) Sounds so familiar…even the “bad mommy” thing…
Chocolate cupcakes are always a win.
Marshall is in a “naughty mommy” phase right now. That’s a tough one.
