I did convince him to take a break on Saturday night, and we went out for a romantic dinner together, followed up by a trip to the Sears Craftsman department. Cause that's how we roll in this household.
Moose had a good time Saturday morning hanging out with Carter. And Charing, Rhiannon, and I had a good time having coffee and breakfast together.
Sunday has been an entirely different story. I am not sure why, and I hope to God it is not a precursor to what is to come. Moose has been difficult all day. Since he can now ask for what he wants, he is constantly asking for something, then if I don't give it in .002 seconds, I get a melt-down.
If it is not time to watch TV, I will not turn it on for him, which results in him crying, me getting upset/mad/sad. But I think it is important to lay down the rules right now, and not give in to his demands.
Things he has asked for in no particular order:
-cereal
-Blue's Clues
-cereal
-Thomas
-cereal
-goldfish
-cereal
-blanket
-cereal
-Doggie (his stuffed animal)
-(you guessed it) cereal
I am not sure why the recent fascination with cereal is, but it is about to drive me crazy. I have not problem giving him a little snack in the morning, and in the afternoon. But I don't want him eating all day, plus, he really doesn't want it, he will play with it, and crunch it on the floor and *aaaaaaaahhhhhhh help me I think my brain is going to pop out of my head and plop on the floor*
Alrighty then, I feel a bit better, how about a picture of the basement?
Wood paneling? Gone! Say hello to new drywall, and the tile is finally being continued!

Oh, give that perfect boy as much cereal as he WANTS! No, I'm just kidding, I know it's not that easy. I guess the terrible twos are now beginning. The downstairs is really shaping up. I'm still impressed that Cory knows how to do all that!!
Anxious to see the "new" room! It looks like it will be great!
Ah yes, the terrible twos. I'm sure we all went through them for our parents at some time also! Those are the memories we try to forget!
Love you and....
Anxiously waiting,
G'ma
The basement looks great!
If you have the willpower not to give in then more power to you I always gave in for the two minutes of peace and now I have three kids that rule the house......I mean four kids that rule the house
I always wanted to have the dounstairs updated. It will be great!! You all will LOVE that area. I'm very impressed.
Little Wes is the perfect boy. At least he "ask" for stuff and doesn't just go get it himself. You are doing a good job.
XOXO

Be... erm, nice. My fragile ego can't take too much honesty. Seriously though, I do love comments. Please tell me what you think!
