J had his first day back at work yesterday. everything went well, but he was really tired by the end of the day. M has started...well I don't know what to call it, but she has started. She says "mommy, potty!" and I respond "okay, m, hurry go potty in your potty chair" she says "no momma, no potty" so I say "okay, don't go potty" and she says "no momma! potty!" ... or... "momma, dinner please" I say "here's your dinner, m" she says "all done, momma" I say "okay, all done" as she starts to get down from her high chair, then she whines "No momma! more dinner. No! More!" I say "okay, M. If you want more dinner, then eat it. If you get down you're all done and you get no more." M says "ok." then eats a couple of bites and says "all done, momma. No more dinner" and I say "okay" as she gets down from her chair and I take away her plate and then she starts crying "no momma, no!! more!!" at which point I give up, dump her dinner in the trash and she cries for about 10 minutes. this argument happens with most things now, the back and forth of not knowing what she wants. She has also started making me take her to the potty. I used to take her to help her, then she got to where she could do it on her own, but now she will say "momma, potty!" and I tell her "okay, m, go potty, hurry!" and she says "no, momma help." where she takes my hand and says "get up. get up, momma. help". This is really cute but gets old once we get to the bathroom and she argues with herself as to whether or not she actually needs to pee.
Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me: M! E! It is time to go home. now! M: E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?
