Oy Vey...Cole has entered the realm of the excuse...anything that he doesn't want to do, anywhere he doesn't want to go, anything that is out of our routine he attempts to thwart with one of his four pleas...
They are becoming quite rote and anticipated and he is realizing this so I hope he becomes either more varied or gives up this phase, which I know only means another phase of some sort will replace it but this current state of "whining" is driving me batty...
The imploring looks of despair that accompany the aforementioned pleas would be almost laughable if they weren't downright vexing; sometimes however you just have to laugh. Of course he gets highly irritated if we do crack a smile but sometimes suppressing my reaction to such a dramatic air is nearly impossible and a much better reaction than losing my patience.
Eating what he doesn't want to eat off his plate after he has eaten what he wants"I have a tummy ache", driving to school in the morning "it's boring", running errands "I'm tired", taking medication "it will make me sick"....picking up his toys "I have a tummy ache", brushing his teeth "I'm tired", going to bed "it's boring"...
I'll say it again, OY VEY...
