Really....

There are occasions that I honestly just have to look at you laugh. Throw all of my ABA and behavior skills and knowledge out the window and just sit back and marvel at the child who you are becoming. Every now and then you pull something out of no where that reminds me you are just a kid. It reminds me that you get it more then we give you credit for and that you are taking notes for the future. Here a few of your latest moves that make me say "Really..... did you really just do that?"

- At the dentists office today you were over tired and acting a fool. I said in my mommy voice "do we need to a come to Jesus?" Without missing a beat you turned around, smiled, and said "Hi Jesus!" - Really?????

- When your dentist came over to you today you ever so nicely grabbed her breast and said "mine!" - Really???

- We went through the drive through tonight for dinner (no surprise with our busy lives these days) and got the happy meal, no bun, with fries. I always withhold your fries until you have eaten all of the burger. I turned around for a second to get our drinks and you had nicely moved all of the fries from my plate to your plate and just looked at me, smiled, and said "want?" - as if you were asking me if I wanted some of my own fries - Really?????

- You had a rough day at school yesterday - who knows why - but ended up hitting people about 14 times. When we were in the car and I asked you about this your response was "music." I asked you the question again and you again responded but this time with "more music" I told you no more music until you tell me why you are hitting people. You responded with "no" somehow found your iPod in the backseat and turned up the volume - Really????

- Fed you dinner a few nights ago, what I thought was a good dinner, I made you pizza - I went upstairs and came back down discovered you had fed it all to the dogs - you looked at me, grinned from ear to ear as proud as can be - said "stop" and ran off laughing at me - Really????

- One of you new favorites, I ask you a question, you answer me in your own little language, I tell you I didn't quiet get that and can you try again - you get this stern little face and say, "I SAID.... (fill in here)!" with "I said" being completely intelligible but then filling in the rest in your own language again - Really???

The list could go on - these are some of the positives from the last few days. I will always be proud of the little man you are becoming. I can only fault myself for the smart ass personality and for you being a spitfire. It does not help that those around think you are "just so cute" with the curly hair and the little swagger in your walk.

I will say though, we may have to reign you in long before your teenager years if you keep up at this pace. You are literally a little frat boy in the making!

Love you Baby
Keep on Truckin
