Monday (yesterday) I had to go in to the Dr. to talk to the nurse for a minute. Since it was nothing big, and I didn't have to see the doctor or do any tests I decided to just take the kids with me instead of finding a sitter and going through that rig-a-ma-role....I told Luke I was taking them and that I'd soon find out whether it was a bad idea (and would never do it again!)...
We walk in and there's this 18ish month old running, no RUNNING, around like a crazy kid. His parents were trying to stop him and it was just totally egging him on. Kaden was enthralled. Absolutely couldn't take his eyes of this wild boy, and when he did it was to look at me as if to plead with me "PLEASE, let me run?" So, the parents are acting like they can't figure out why he's being a terror and Kaden is pointing at him going "running!" "LOUD!" and all sorts of descriptions when the mom says to the boy "You are being so bad!" Well, that struck a chord in Kaden and suddenly as loud as he could he says "NOT OBEY! SPANKINGS!" and from then until we got called back he kept pointing and repeating..."spankings! not obey! loud! LOUD! NOT obey! Spankings!!!"
On one side, it was very cute and adorable and innocent, and hey, now I know he understands me when I tell him he's not obeying...
On the other hand, couldn't he have yelled "not obey! TIME OUT!" ???? I mean, he ALWAYS gets sent to time out first...always. Spankings are not his first punishment! Did he have to announce to the (full) office that he gets spankings for not obeying?
Then he saw the toilet as we were going back...and he decided to talk about poop, and things of that nature. It was awesome. His mouth literally never stops, and I think I'm in trouble...
I call him Oliver the Parrot. Oliver (as in Twist...) because he's always asking for more food as if he is absolutely STARVED. "Please, sir, may I have summore??" (Can't you see it?) And the parrot because he is constantly repeating everything I say. Constantly. Everything.
At least he mostly repeats after me in a very cheerful tone...
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. That is so cute! wish i coulda been there to see that it would have been hilarious! At least you know he understands that not obeying has consequences.... That took me a while to understand hahahaha, not really but he is a very smart boy!!!
