Poor Archer. He has been in time out twice and had once long crying fit...all before 10 AM. This past weekend was spent at my Dad's house in Vicksburg. For all who do not know, I have a little brother who is almost 10. He is an only child and acts just like the stereotypical only child. He aggravates and tests. He was saying, "NAH" and "NO" to Archer all weekend trying to play with/aggravate him. Archer came back home telling his Daddy and I "no". That mess doesn't fly around this household! It is taking some serious straightening out on our parts and driving me crazy in the meantime. It doesn't seem to bother me as badly as it bothers WP. WP is that "rules with the iron fist" type of parent. That "my way or no way" parent. I want a well-behaved, disciplined child also. But I also want to be laid back and let him be a kid. If he's not hurting anything then let him use his imagination.
Speaking of imagintion...That child should be on "kids say the darndest things"! He is a silly billy boy! Yesterday when I got home from work I told him to give me sugar on my cheek. He did. Then he turned my face and said, "Sugar other cheek, Mommy!" Then he proceeded to kiss my other cheek. And this went on for about 5 kisses. He'll disappear into his room to play then emerge with one rubber boot on, a basketball net on his head as a "hat", and his daddy's belt wrapped around his waist. He will play in that attire until it all falls off. At this very moment WP is napping on the couch. I looked into the living room and here is what I see: Archer lying on the floor on his pillow, covered by his blanket. His hands are over his head just like his Daddy is laying on the couch. Underneath his little hand I see a large smile as he is pretending to be like his Daddy. Precious moments like this make my life wonderful.
I don't know how much 2 year olds are supposed to actually talk but I can't help but think that mine talks more than most his age. He has a full vocabulary and speaks in sentences. The little mockingbird doesn't miss a thing, either. I have been able to hold conversations with him for several months.
Anyway, can't wait to see how he's going to be with his new sibling! (Can't wait to see how I'm gonna be with a 2 year old and a newborn) Very exciting!!!!
Archer says he's gotta poopoo.. BYE!
