Wondering about Your Not-so-easy child
Listen, that’s the sound of my day, every day, what in the heck did I do to deserve a kid that is so difficult. I know, I know, you reap what you sow. But, I’m telling you, this kid is a major pain when he wants to be. He likes to argue, will change teams in an argument just so he can continue to argue and will have nothing of the normal stuff unless it is his idea.
You know, he wants the red cup because his brother has the red one, he doesn’t want the blue one. So, instead of taking his brothers, I go get him a different red one. No, no, no, he wants a blue cup. Whatever!
As of late he refuses to change his pull-up and wont tell us when he is poopy. If we don’t smell him, then he wears it until he has blisters on his butt. He then throws the mother of all fits when it is time to get in the bathtub which is the only way to clean him up after these episodes.
So, what about food. The kid eats enough in one day to last him 3 days then he doesn’t eat again for ages. So, here’s a few links for you to check out if you have a fussy eater.

My son is a better eater than I am…I try, but old habits die hard.
