So Kadin is getting close isnt he? You know what Im talking about. The same thing everyone in my life has talked about since I got pregnant. Something I myself avoided as a teenage babysitter. The two's. OK OK I know he just turned 1 like 3 months ago but what else could explain the crazed, spitful outburst coming from my son?
He squeals directly at you if you try to take something he wants to keep. He squeals at you if you tell him to stop...or no...or don't touch. Kadin squeals at you if your not getting him something fast enough or if you try to keep him from running in a direction your not ready for and my god does he squeal when you try to stop him from drinking poison. Funniest thing.
Yesterday....well just let me retell this story of mommy/son bliss and computer use.
He is obsessed, and yes ok I know he is young and obsession is a strong word...but you try and sit here during a nine hour day and 450000000000000 freakin times tell him not to touch the computer and then frantically run to actually make him stop touching the computer.
But Hasan and I are sticking to it and following through. We are trying to show the monst...I mean Kadin that there are consequences for the decisions he makes. Kadin will learn to not touch the computer. I assure you. And besides Dr. Phil says this is the best way to do it.
I just realized I told you above that I was going to tell a story and I havent yet. Can anyone say babbling?
Kadin was at the computer. I told him not to touch. He continued. I got up and pulled him away from the computer. He squealed at me...RIGHT at me. I squished his face so his lips were pressed together. Picturing it? And I told him in a very firm voice to stop and not to touch.
He ran to the sofa and began sobbing with the force of a broken hearted child who has also been taken away from something he is obsessed with. As he sobbed - and by the way watched television...something caught his little beady eye - he squealed, outloud, twice with the force of ten 2 year old little girls whose mommy has gone to work... (Come on...what? You know its true)
What the...? Who the hell is this kid?
And do not get me started on the TV....we had it so good for awhile and then this kid came along.
Did I mention the double hug?
