The boy is frustrating!! It is so hard to get him to do anything lately.
"Come on Adam! Let's go play out in the snow!".
"NO snow!".
"OK. Mommy is going to go by herself."
"NO! Adam go snow"
"Alright, then we need to put on a pull-up"
"No pull-up! No pants!"
A half an hour later, we negotiate and get snow gear on.
We play out in the snow for a while, he loses a shoe in the snow at one point, it's kind of cold and a little rainy feeling and Adam starts holding his crotch....
"Adam? Do you have to go potty?"
"No potty!.....Yes, potty!"
"OK, then it's time to go in."
"No! Adam shovel!"
Drag him into the house (the one he didn't want to leave an hour ago) while he's screaming because I took off his shoes ("Adam do!"). Take off all his wet clothes and his now wet pull-up and told him he was stinky and needed to go take a shower (since I hadn't gotten one yet today). "NO shower". Once the water is on, he's fine and then doesn't want to get OUT of the shower...
Pick any situation - lather, rinse, repeat....
Oh - and with our weird leaking problem and his carpet damp, he gets to sleep in our room for a little while. We actually got him to sleep fairly easily tonight but I hope he stays asleep when we get in there... and not wake up at 6:30 again....
