Cream of Wheat
I know my last post was about Cereal but this one deserves a post as well. Yesterday I was getting Ash ready for school and I was asking her what she wanted for breakfast. She usually just ignores me and does not tell me what she wants. I have to press her several times for an answer. She did the same when I asked her this time.
I got her dressed and we headed down stairs. I was just about to ask her what she wanted when she said to me. "My tummy is cold" I was like okay well your dressed so it will warm up. I then realized she was telling me in her nonchalant
way that she wanted something warm for breakfast. So I played along. I said oh do you want some hot water to eat for breakfast to warm your tummy. She smiled and laughed. I said oh you want Cream of Wheat for breakfast. She was like yes that is perfect to warm my tummy.
I was thinking how it would have been easier to just say can I have some Cream of Wheat for breakfast but she likes to play games and has done this several times in her life. She is learning to be manipulative like me and I can see right through it at least for now I can.
Marsh Mellows VS Frosted Oates
Today I needed my son to be quiet while I called some accounts for my boss. Ashlyn was at school so I just had to make sure Josh was entertained for about 1 hour. I got out all the toys I hate him playing with because they are so messy. I let him have whatever the heck he wanted basically.
Twenty minutes into calling these accounts I was like wow Josh is super quiet and being really good. I then looked across the room to notice he had gotten a brand new box of Lucky Charms out that had just been opened this morning. He had managed to dump the entire box of them out and was chowing away. Mind you he had had a bowl of them for breakfast already and also some toast and a banana. Anyhow I was like whatever its all dumped out now and he is being good. I will worry about that later.
So about 30 minutes later I had finished calling the accounts and I got up to clean up the cereal. I then noticed that he had managed to eat all of the marsh mellows out of the entire box. Not leaving one marsh mellow and I am not exaggerating here. I was under the impression that the frosted oats tasted just as good. I was sorely mistaken today. Anyhow if there is anyone out there that likes the frosted Oates and not the marsh mellows I have a whole container full of them marsh mellows excluded.

Does it get better than this?
In the past I have written about things Josh likes to do and how he likes to stick things in cupboards and in my flour containers. Well today took the cake for things he has done. The kid is a nut job and has quite the funny personality. If I were to see myself at his age and maybe my dad can confirm I would say Josh is exactly like I was at the age of two.
This morning I went to pour some milk for Josh in his bottle. I know I know he is getting too old but he loves his bottle. As I poured it chunks of ice came out in the bottle and I was like well I guess the fridge is to cold so I turned it up. After he was done drinking his bottle there were still the ice chunks in there and I thought nothing of it. About an hour later I went to pour some milk into Ashlyns cereal and again white chunks of ice came out.... or so I thought. As I looked closer I realized it was not ice.
Yesterday some time around 11:30 Josh had some marsh mellows. I thought he had eaten them all. Well apparently not. He somehow managed to get the milk out of the fridge and dump a bunch of marsh mellows in the the milk carton. I figured oh well it will just make the milk have more flavor. Well it did not end there.
I went to pour some more milk this afternoon and low and behold I see a fruit loop floating at the top. At this point I decided to drain all of the milk to get the marsh mellows out and the fruit loop. I then found a receipt as well floating in there. I also managed to find a fork at the bottom of the carton. I wonder how that found its way in there. So as you can see my son is a little turd but I love him and find it too funny to be mad at the kid.
