Can’t stay mad or annoyed with a toddler
for long. He finally asked, nicely, for some water and a
biscuit. I got him off the stairs and gave him a biscuit. He
said, “You got an F, for fox. I can spell fox!” and he jumped
out of his chair, ran over to the fridge, and put f-o-x into
the Word Whammer. So smart! Hopefully he learns quickly that
whining doesn’t work around here! :)
We’ve entered a fun new phase with Lex –
whining. Blah! He’s got his whiny voice down pat and his “I
want it, I want it, I want it” going strong. Very annoying.
He’s a persistent little bugger. This is the first time that
he’s really, clearly just being (or trying to be) manipulative.
And he gets no sympathy from us :) He has been sitting on the
stairs for about five minutes saying, “I want some milk, I want
some, I want some, I want some, I really really do.” He’s also
become anti-bath and we’re on day 3 of no bathing. Tonight he’s
going in the tub like it or not. Fun times :)
