Peanut has been really particular lately. She corrects us on things. About half the time she is right. It is annoying. Today she corrected Mr. T. for saying Mizz-a-zippy, instead of Mississippi. I hope she can learn to let things go a bit more, or my home life will be taking a spiral downward.
***************
BabyP continues to find ways to annoy us. Today he was kicking me. I told him I didn't want to be kicked and hit.
"but you are being kicked and hit."
"but I don't want to be."
"But I don't want to be."
"I am serious. Stop it."
"I am serious. Stop it."
"You need to talk nice to me." by this time I am struggling to contain my grin.
"You need to talk nice to me. " thinking he is getting the best of me.
He went straight to bed without stories. (well straight is a lie. There was a lot of getting up and being put back in his room. There was also a lot of yelling by sissy to come and read Romona to her.)
*******************
Time outs with him are a chore too. He won't stay in them. He screams and yells. I force myself to stick with it because in the end, he needs to know that I will follow through. And generally, when he gets a timeout it is for something completely worthy of it like throwing the ladder off of his truck at his father's head.
*******************
We are also adjusting to eating at the table. I don't know when it started, but babyP gets up instead of eating dinner. for a few nights, we gave him a snack. But now we are dealing with the growing pains from us not doing that. We have a time to eat, and he needs to be there eating with us.
*******************
A conversation that I had with him in the car went like this.
him to me. "My kids all drive trucks."
"They do? What color?"
"Green. My kids all drive green trucks. We are going to get them later."
"you are?"
"Ya, at the store." Changing subject "I don't want to get sissy. I want to go home."
We have a similar conversation like this every day on our way home from daycare.
*********************
I took Peanut to see Beauty and the Beast. We loved it. I think I loved it more than her though. She got really antsy and kept telling me she was hungry even though we had stopped to get a BIG cookie from Boulevard before going.

Peanut is a rock and roll swimmer now. She did so good in the pool at her lesson last week. This weekend she jumped off the diving board and went down the bit slide at the pool. When we go to the waterpark this summer, we will have to do some big rides. I think my little thrill seeker will love them. I can tell she feels very proud of herself for swimming, and she keeps wanting to try more. I thought I might sign her up for swim team, but they practice when I am at work. Oh well... It is probably for the best as I want her to do a soccer camp this summer.
