R has decided that tantrums may work in getting his own way and if that doesn't work there is always the diaper fake out. "Mommy! Poops! Ah poops!" usually sobbed out when he's supposed to be staying in bed or in playgroup....only to have the mommy check and find nothing! Oh, he's good! He knows what works. How to get this mommy's attention and fast!
You'll also find that Bup loves to mimic and follow the big kids in all they do. It's really quite fun to watch and slightly frightening at times when there's high climbing or naughty language (tupids!) involved.
Of course, there's the sweetness! The I love yous, the hug & kiss, the snuggles, the belly laughing and hand holding and letting his big brother wash his face and hands after dinner without a tear or yell. This last one is a miracle in itself because there are screams of terror when Mommy washes his face...or anything else. Bath time is no fun. He's become frightened of it due to having his hair washed. Same reaction with hair cuts, hair combing, diaper changing, etc, etc. The child knows how to work it!
Regardless, I still want to kiss his squishy cheeks and tickle his fluffy tummy, over and over again.
Survival of the cutest! Works like a charm.
ReplyDeleteHey, will he do a bucket in the shower. I have two that love the shower and I don't care how they bathe as long as they do it. Buckets and cups are great.

No bucket, no cup...I even tried a snorkle mask, which W loves!. I'm officially stumped. Maybe a visor? And the shower? Well, that evokes sounds of a mother torturing her child...worse than the bath.
ReplyDeleteThe boys are getting so big....they do look older once they grow out of that baby-ish face. Great days are ahead as they try new things and learn all the crazy things....older boy's naughty language, we have that issue in the house...don't worry about K and H, we have Daddy, P said "it" after supper the other night because Daddy had added "sh" to it!! At least P didn't say "uck"!
