Biggest Tantrum

Michael threw the biggest tantrum this morning about not wanting to go to the YMCA with me. I was already having a rough morning with upset stomach (I mean REALLY UPSET), being late for dropping off Enoch and I was hopping to cheer-me-up by exercising hard (it usually does the trick). Then Michael refused to walk with me into the Y, stayed outside, so lots of people were so kindly concerned about him and made a scene of watching/comforting him (all while judging his mom), I was watching him closely from inside of the door and not giving in to his tantrum. Eventually I had to tell the lady who was about to hold Michael's hands to be "excused". And then you know what, our pediatrician showed up at the gym... haha fun time! But the funniest part of it all is that, all Michael wanted was a granola bar and he was an angle after he ate his granola bar! Love this boy!

He is my guy

Today Michael went to preschool at Beckam's house. Mel's neighbor brought the little girl she was watching, named Abby. Before we left, Abby wanted to give Michael a hug. So they hugged each other which was so so sweet! Then the neighbor asked Abby if Michael was really nice, she said "yeah, he is my guy." That is so sweet! Michael is already a lady's man at a young age! The neighbor said Michael was really sweet and nice, such a great boy! 

BEST BIG BROTHER EVER!!

(Oct21) Michael didn't get to eat icecream after Enoch's soccer practice today for wetting his pants. Michael of course cried really hard. Enoch said, "but I want Michael to eat icecream..." We told him no and explained that it was a punishment. Then Enoch told Michael "Michael, go say sorry to mommy and daddy." Michael came to me but eventually didn't say anything. Then it was time to eat icecream. Enoch said " I want to save some icecream in my bowl for Michael." BEST BIG BROTHER EVER!!

Loves his little brother!

This morning Peter woke up at 5:30 (Hasn't done that for a long long time!) because of being really sick. I took him out of their room to comfort him. I did it fast and somewhat quietly and I think Michael didn't see me at all. A few mins later, Michael run out of his room crying, saying that "Somebody took Peter" and "Peter is gone." Awww... He loves his little brother!

mcdonalds

Michael wanted to go to McDonalds on the way home from the gym today. He was in a poopy mood. Sharon told him if he saw a McDonalds on the way home, than we would stop. I whispered that there weren't any McDonalds on the way home, she said she knew. Michael happily got in the car and was looking and looking for a McDonalds all the way home. He eventually got sad he didn't find one. I'm not sure if he knows he was duped, but I thought it was a fun way for Sharon to avert a tantrum.

Mr potato head

Michael just showed me this picture he drew of Mr potato head. He wanted to make sure I knew that he didn't have any legs and that he spoke Spanish "bagebagezhebe"
