I asked my 2 year old daughter to give me a hug. This was the conversation:
Me-"I want a hug."
Daughter-"No."
Me-"Fine be that way." My 4 year old son then comes over.
Son-"I want a hug." He give me a hug then says, "Not Arianna. She's being a jerk." Yes, my 4 year old son said that about his sister. I tried to explain to him that no she just didn't want a hug right now. Actually she says no to me wanting a hug a lot. I can tell she does it because she thinks it's funny. Anyway, after he said that my husband and I looked at each other and laughed. It was hard not to. Yes, he got that from me. I haven't said it in awhile though. When he would be mean to his sister I would tell her he's being a jerk. Sometimes he would get so mad when I would tell her that. It never made him any nicer though. I was surprised to hear him say that because he knows it's a bad word. He also knows not to say bad words, and he usually doesn't. It's our daughter that doesn't quite understand that yet. Kids are so funny sometimes with the things they say, and the faces they make. My son's new saying now is..."I'm mad now." He says this when he doesn't get him way, so it's quite often. It's just so funny because right after he says it he crosses his arms in a huffy puffy way and puts his head down. I laugh every time, and it just makes him more mad. It's so easy to get mad at my kids, but looking at their face when I yell at them makes it hard. I admit that I yell at my kids a lot. They are just so frustrating sometimes.
A little about my kids...
Trayvon- He is 4 years old. I think he's very smart, but that could just be me. He's fully potty trained except at night which I have a feeling it will be awhile until he gets over that. He loves just about anything. His biggest things are playing and watching angry birds, watching mario, and dinosaurs. He's obsessed with playing and watching these things on my computer. When we shut it off he cries hard. He has a fantastic imagination, and sometimes will pretend he is an angry bird. He will throw himself at a pillow on the couch, and even explode like the black angry bird. He's quite amusing sometimes. I can rarely video tape him because he just likes to look at himself while I'm trying to film. He has a temper like his mom for sure. He will go out of his way sometimes to bother his sister and make her cry. He is also a huuuuuuuuuuuge whiner. I mean majorly. This kid whines about everything. When he asks for something he whines. He can be a little rough sometimes, but he's a boy. At the end of the day he's a great kid.
Arianna- She just turned 2 a couple months ago. I think she is also very smart. This is probably because she has her big brother to repeat after. She is also potty trained. She has pooped on the floor a couple times, and once in her underwear. I never had that problem with my son. Both of them I let them decide on their own when they were ready. It just seemed easier that way instead of forcing them. We haven't taken her anywhere though to know if she does good outside of the house. I really hope so. We have a birthday party this weekend, so I'll guess we will find out. She pretty much loves to do whatever her brother does. She too will go out of her way to bother brother. She gets a kick out of it. Now this child is crazy. She lives in her own world, and by her own rules. She does listen for nothing. I've tried everything, and I mean everything aside from hitting her. I would NEVER do that. She is very stubborn. You tell her not to do something and punish her for it she will go two minutes later and do it again. Her obsession is the bathroom sink. She has flooded the bathroom twice, by stuffing toilet paper down the drain. We pretty much have to keep anything that can make a mess, harm her, etc. in a place she can't get to. Sometimes she still finds a way to get to it. There's been a few things broken, lotion in places, baby powder, and pretty much anything you can think of she's probably done it. When you yell at her for something she looks at you and smiles like it's nothing. She is the one we definitely have to keep an eye on all the time. She has no fear and will do dangerous things. This scares me a bit, but she's really tough. When she first started walking she fell a lot and not softly. Everyone would always gasp, but she would just get back up as if nothing happened. She loves to see her brother get in trouble. They have started tattling on each other. Her favorite food is string cheese. This girl can eat six or more in a day, and still poop.
They both are starting a German Kindergarten next month. They will go five days a week for four hours, and I can't wait. It will be a nice break. My son went for a year to a different one, and he seemed to like it a lot. It's nice because the teachers will speak to them in German, but will speak to them in English if need be. They will pick up on German a lot faster going to this school. I just can't wait because four hours of me time.
