Ups and Downs

Well, the honeymoon is over! We have had some good days and some bad. I think the good did overall outweigh the bad. We had a couple of incidents that left us wondering what we were going to do.

The biggest one that we may laugh about in years to come is one that I distinctly remember my oldest brother doing . Boyd and Kole were going to go on some errands and Boyd had everything ready, and forgot something in the house.... So, he turned the truck off and took the keys with him. Thirty seconds later he comes out of the house and his truck is...... in the street. yes, Kole had unhooked himself, released the parking brake and knocked the gear shift into neutral, then to try to cover himself he pressed the parking brake half in. (Very smart inquisitive boy). then after being told very sternly that he is not to do that again, while Boyd is driving down the road, the little runt releases himself from the seatbelt and reaches for the steering wheel! Now I am thinking not smart, very scary boy! Well, he was disciplined in Boyd's own way and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

The next day he managed to poke Kali in teh eye on purpose for not playing with him and then proceeded to smash Kaci's hand in a plastic leap pad. So, he was told No we are not mean. Be nice and put in a time out in the chair next to me. Well so many disciplines in two days and he decided to retaliate. After his time out was up he came over to cuddle which is fine, but then decided to pee his pants on the couch.... All the time with the look of I will get even. So, I take him to the bathroom, show him the poddy where the pee should go, and give him a bath and he went to be without a bedtime snack.

Since then, he has been almost an angel...

Today we played a game I bought from discovery toys. It is a cube with a different color on each side with cards that match the colors and they have actions and other things. He was able to repeat to me what was on the cards and match the colors of the cards to the proper sides. He was really excited about playing it. So we played for a half hour and Kaci joined us and he really like that.

Last night we went to Kaci's Kindergarten program and Kole kept pointing at the stage and saying Kaci. Look, Kaci! Hi Kaci! Kaci sing.
Kaci Kaci Kaci. Really cute. Kali sat with him and he liked that too. He sat for I think 2 minutes of the 30 minutes we were there. But he didn't cause any disruptions.

I also went for a haircut and as soon as I walked in, he ran up and went oooooo! With a big smile and started to laugh. I think he likes it.
He is getting along better at daycare and more comfortable there. Too bad he only has two more weeks there. Then a high school girl will be coming for two hours each day.

Well, more updates later and maybe some more pics too!
