And let the testing begin!
Jeremiah has had a rough couple of days. You know that amazing, inspired listening ladder God put in my brain to create? Yeah, we’ve definitely been using it. The first few days Miah kept his place at the top three rungs. These past few days have been spent on the bottom two. Ick!
Last night there were showering issues. Lying about being in the shower while actually being fully dressed and letting the water run. Getting in the shower, getting head wet, but not washing. Lying about not washing after Mom discovers (quite easily) that there was no washing. Getting back in the shower and again lying about washing. FINALLY washing after Mom stands by shower with step by step washing instructions. And YES this kid DOES know how to wash on his own.
It was a bit ridiculous.
This morning, continual silliness and instruction avoidance. The cute stuff is not going to fly kiddo. Once finally in the car, they sympathy ploy.
“Mom, I don’t think I’m the right son for you.” in his best cutesie voice EVER!
Good try buddy. I think I said something amazingly brilliant about how God has chosen him to be part of our family and how Dad and I have to be tough because it’s the job God has given us.
God is teaching me a lot about mom-ing right now. I am hoping this evening is better.
