This will be a very short post today.
My current situation is in Mickey D's with the 2 yr old....and we are at an impasse.
He wants ice cream.
I want him to finish his nuggets.
There is, obviously a breakdown in communication. However, he has made very plain, his dissatisfaction with the fact that he. Does. Not. Have. Ice. Cream.
No, he isn't crying.
No, he isn't throwing a tantrum.
He's actually being very civil about it all. He's just doing everything ELSE except that.
Yes, like most parents/caretakers of small children, I find myself laughing on the inside and trying to keep a straight face in front of him.
His single-mindedness is breathtaking. However, I've been an auntie a lot longer than him. His mother, my niece, had these same moments, and it's hilarious to see the similarities in the two.
My point today, is that there are days I wish I could stand irretractably and declare, "No! I am not doing this today!" And not throw a tantrum in the process. Just decide that, nope, I'm doing everything ELSE except what you want.
Unfortunately, life dictates that I must adult on these days. And, just like with him, life wins.
