The kid is good. Ugh,

We walked into Target today, Jason Wu line was out! But, while I am figuring out what I can justify, Bryce throws himself on the floor. Why? Because he wants shoes. He starts saying, "ouch, they hurt, my feet hurt! Shoes hurt! Need new shoes!" (I bought these shoes a week ago and he has worn them with no complaint ever since) So, we go to the shoes and pick out some more. I mean, what else could I do. I was already getting the disapproving evil eye from other shoppers. Then he refused to walk, and I refused to carry him. He is 40+ pounds- yes, barely 3 years old. So I put him in the cart. As soon as he got the shoes, he smiles and says, " tank you mommy. Do u love me?" Seriously? I must or I would have left your a*s barefoot while I kept shopping! For the record- this is not the first time he has pulled the "my shoes hurt" trick to get a new pair. But really? You can't not get a new pair, the entire store can hear him, and you can't claim money problems when you are buying yourself guest designer shirts you must have, need or not.

OK, I will wait.

Bryce it is time for a nap.

"I pick my nose first, just a second."

That, right there, is good parenting!

Just stole a couple of Bryce's French fries, he looked at me and said, "you helpings eat dinner?"
Me, "sure"
Bryce," thank you mommy. "

On way home from preschool, he says, "I made something for you!"

me, "you did?"

b, "yup"

me, "good!"

While I am driving, I reach back to grab the colorful paper being waved around. It is a scholastic book form.

me. "you made this?"

B, "yup, you like it?"

me, "um, I love it?"

I miss the nice monster

Right before bed, when I give him a 5 minute warning, he yells " I no go to bed, I monkey. Jungle no bed time!"

What happened to nice monster?

Please, just let me rest.

Trying to rest until I can take more meds for this stupid cold....

So that was a fail. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt something. A plastic saw on my leg and heard the singing, "I cutting mommy"

Was scared to close my eyes again.

Monster

I am a monster! A nice monster!
