So, there are many joys to having Joshua and three weeks ago, I could tell you all about them. Unfortunately, we're back in the "I'm not going to listen to a word my babysitter says and I'm not going to take a nap!" phase. Quite frankly, I hate this phase. It would be one thing if he didn't need a nap but the truth of the matter is he does. He's a completely different kid without a nap. He's rude and mean and whiny. Or as his therapist says he becomes "disregulated." I personally like rude, mean and whiny...
Seriously, this is an exhausting stage because he seems to not care about being in trouble. Take today for example. I went to pick him up and he's semi-laying on the couch doing his own thing. She's telling me about how he wasn't listening and he then starts playing on the couch. When I tell him to put his sheet away, that kid had the nerve to smirk at his babysitter! I tell you, that boy was about to meet Jesus right then and there! The nerve of that kid! He's lucky that the Holy Spirit stopped me from tanning his behind right then and there because boy did I want to. I don't know why he does these things because he doesn't talk about it. I try to pinpoint when and then take guesses about why he does this and no answer. He's stuck and I'm not quite sure about how to get him unstuck. So, then I wait it out while he's being a pain in my butt... *sigh* kids... they make me want to drink.
