Today has been a good day and a day of small tantrums for Josiah.To start with the good he slept well all night and he slept till like ten am today.Yay for me:)
He got up and we started our day well sid(his fave show) and breakfast the usual.As the day as wore on he seems slightly annoyed by my presence like I am keeping him from the most important things in life,Mom wont let me eat dirt or lick my fingers and play with light switches and plugs,she wont let me turn the tv on and off repeatedly his usual tantrums.But on to more exciting news he lately shows interest when others use the potty so mommy and daddy bought him one of his own,i know he is only 17 months spare me the lecture(not that u would give me one )the store clerk at Meijers already beat u to it he is too young boys dont potty train till they are almost 3 generally yadayada she told me it all believe me.I understand he is young and it wont happen overnight but if he is interested now I will cerantainly give it a shot especially since too soon we will have two children and I would love one of them to be diaper free:)Anyways HE did it his first potty in his potty I am so proud!makes me laugh that I feel this excited for his accoplishment but i do I feel as if it is just awesome!
Okay and a little more about the title of my blog,We have a neighbor on our street who has a young child who visits every so often and while she is very cute and generally very nice to Josiah today she is just pushing all his little buttons we went outside to play on the front porch with his chalk and lo and behold she is visiting.She wonders over and starts to color with Josiah too.Cute huh? well being the only child he is so far Josiah wants every color chalk she is using I tell him to share and usually he lets it go for a minute or so,anyways she procedes to throw his chalk thinking its funny to break the pieces he wants and then just leaves so I must deal with the tears.
Only to return a couple minutes later with a toy her family had loaned my son a few short nights ago that he loved,she tells him no little boy not to touch her toy.What?wait gets better yet.After taunting my 17 month old for about 10 miuntes (that felt as if a eternity)she goes back to the house and returns with a bike.Yes complete with big wheels and streamers and all, and rides it up and down our driveway all the while telling Me to make Josiah stop following her,Now I understand she is but 4 or so but That was all I could handle I turn to her and said he can follow you anywhere he wants this is his driveway.seriously how can i teach my son to share and be kind if others dont persistantly do the same,and make sure their children are well behaved I do understand its not always mom and dads fault but sometimes it is..any ways that is my rant I guess you can see why we are indoors again and I am venting to a computer as apposed to playing outtside on such a beautiful day God grant me patience today and help me to raise my children to be kind and poite and caring children.Please so some other mom does not get frusterated at my chilren someday down the road.
