Since both of the boys and I are sick today I’m working from home. I’m keeping an eye on the boys while Tammy is at the gym. Staying with the boys over any extended period of time makes me really appreciate everything that she goes through each day with them.
The boys are in a very interesting stage right now where everything has to be done their way. Case in point.
Owen was in his high chair eating peanut butter crackers. He informed me that he was done and wanted to get down. So I went over and lifted him out of his chair. Usually after eating his hands are dirty and they need to be cleaned off. So when I inspected them and pronounced them clean, Owen was not happy. He was planning on having his hands cleaned, so dang it! that’s what we were going to do. He then proceded to climb BACK into his high chair and smear his hands in the peanut butter so that they could be washed off. He then told me that he needed to have his hands washed. So I obliged.
Tammy and I both have a pretty good stubborn streak, so I’m sure we are just getting our comeuppance. But MAN! these boys are fun.
