My Dear 3 Year Old Son,

My Dear Little Knight,

Your three year old little self is driving me to distraction. Within the last three days you have done the following:
  • Kicked a stray soccer ball into your sister's soccer game and ran after it. Of course, I had to chase you down can carry you off the field.
  • Run wild around a Best Buy store, not stopping when I yelled at you to stop, and instead laughed at me.
  • Threw a shoe at your big brother. And while I admire that your aim was right on throwing that shoe from across the room, you may NOT use your brother as a target.
  • Talked potty talk every chance you could get, egged on by your big brother. Time outs, being sent to your room, and the removal of favorite toys do not seem to alter your behavior.
So, you have me at my whits end. And it is only MONDAY!

You can bet your bottom dollar that we will have a full day of activities planned for tomorrow.

Loving you even when you are naughty,
Mommy

Oh the knight and Little Man could be best friends. LOL.. ONLY I have it east today.. because he is sick and only running around when the tylenal kicks in then every 4 hours his fever is back up and he is laying on the couch not moving..
the bad mom I am thought about not giving him the tylenal just so I could get a little break from yelling NO at him LOL.. but the good mom I am said no 102.8 can't be good for him.. so in went the meds.

Ooh, if you find a way to keep toddlers from running out into their siblings' soccer games, let me know, ok? ;) I know I'm going to be doing the same thing with Becca in a few weeks too.

These letters are awesome this month - I'm really enjoying reading them all! :)

Oh goodness. That does sound hectic!
I see you are only 3 work-outs from your first 5 km. Very proud of you ^_^
