Creativity in Dire Circumstances
Posted by Cottontimer on 18 Jul 2006 | Tagged as: Stephen
About half an hour ago, I put away Stephen’s computer because he was crying, complaining, and being very very disagreeable. Since I’m not in a chatty mood, he’s been sitting next to me at the dining table playing with a piece of tissue, tearing it up into little pieces to make space shuttles and rockets. Guess I don’t have to worry about entertaining him on the plane trip back to California next month.

Taken in a happier moment. Grrrr.

Sometimes simple solutions work the best……
I know it doesn’t really help, but it happens to every kid from time to time. Sadie would not leave the pool last night for over half an hour after I told her it was time. Then, she stood in the hallway screaming like a banshee because I was not there to help her get her bathing suit off. Then, when I got there she would not LET me take her bathing suit off…….
Tonight, a little angel has returned in her place.
My new mantra: “Tomorrow will be better.”
California next month, eh? Will you be around my way at all?
(Sorry about the truly 4-year-old behavior. I’m convinced that 4 is the new 2.)
Kristina: Wish parenting could be simple!
river2sea72: Thank you!!! Your story about a recent aborted restaurant visit also made me feel tons better.
Abigail: I hope so!! I’ll email you when I have everything figured out. Gotta get the boys together to go crazy fours together.
That sounds so like a boy! Destroy into little itty bits whatever is at hand when you get into trouble.
My kiddo who’s about Stephen’s age recently did that with cheddar cheese. He first picked it into tiny little specks and then squished them back together to make big globs. I don’t know if they were supposed to be a particular thing or not, because I was busy chewing off my arm in the other room…
Deb: LOLOL You have such a wicked sense of humor.
Sometimes being a parent is all about being a bad-guy. I’m the designated hard-ass in the family.
mdmhvonpa: Me too. ^5!
Just let me know what your schedule is. We can easily come up to you if you aren’t going to be down here.
