What am I going to do with you kid?

At some point there will be a day when you ask this question over and over again. For me yesterday was that day. So there will be No, Crazy for the Day as the whole day was crazy. It all started pretty normal, B-man waking me up at 7am, asking to go outside and play before he had eaten or changed. Sq we sit down, eat breakfast, clean up the mess created by breakfast, change out of our Jammies, finish up our milk, and watch a little Zaboomafoo.

Well then one of my friends called and wanted to go for a walk so I said sure. I got outside and wanted to clean out the wagon so the boys could ride in that. Any way B-man has a very small pool to splash in that had some water in from the rain, and he spotted it, he looked at me and says "Abwa" (water) and look straight at him and say "NO, Stay out of the water we are going for a walk" As I sprint toward him he does a 5 star Frog Splash into the pool, clothes and all. So needless to say I am very displeased and tell him we have to go back in the house, call my friend tell her we aren't going, and strip him naked on the porch.

Nothing makes him angrier than being outside and having to go back in, so it works great as punishment for not behaving when he is out there. Well it was a total meltdown when we got back in the house, there was yelling, screaming, bawling and dome over the edge dramatics, which he has flair for. Well during the fit he wanted Juice and I told him No he needed to calm down first, as I wasn't in the mood to clean juice stains off my carpet when he spit out like a water fountain in protest of his captivity. Well he decided he was going to go get it himself even if that meant crashing through a baby gate into the kitchen, so he screams, lowers his shoulder and took out that gate like Reggie White used to take out quarter backs, needless to say he made through but fell, and pinched his arm under the gate so the Screaming continues.

I decide at this point to call my husband at work and see if he can calm him down before the dog or cat became the next victim of his "I can't believe you made me come in the house" rage, because they shed enough without the help of a 2 yr old pulling their hair out one handful at a time while he sits on them. So Brett talks to him for a min and seemed to help for about 2 min, then back to the fit. Well after about 30-40 min he finally wore himself out, or just realized I wasn't paying attention, and quit.

So know I decide we are going to go see my Mom for a while,s o it's off to the grocery store to buy some Muffins for her for breakfast ( she works a weird shift and wakes up about 11am) and some Juice boxes for Braxton to take with him up there. Well the store has a cart just for little kids that is shaped like a car so they can drive while you shop, I love it when I have a lot of shopping but it is very clumsy, so I figured right in and right out, but NOOO we have to get the stupid "school bus cart" for a juice box and a 4 pack of Muffins.

Well needless to say it didn't get any better once we got to my Moms, the dogs water dish is now a place to swim and he tried to wash his clothes while he was still wearing them. I think I will let you use your imagination on that one, as it can't be far from what actually happened, If you decide you really need to know, Just ask.
