Mr. Rude

Any random day, you could see an entirely different side of my oldest child. I won't deny that he may be one of the most polite, well mannered, sweetest little boys you have ever met, with a fantastic sense of humor.

Other days, I would be willing to give him to the gypsies, and have been tempted to tell him that.

On our way home from Pump It Up last week, we all get in the car, buckle up, and he says, "Gimmie some crackers."

I stopped, waited, and then turned to him and said, "Where are your manners?"

He looks me straight in the eye, leans in and says, "Where are YOUR manners?"

If Blake wants to go to Pump It Up again, he might have to ask you.

He knows what my answer will be.

Bumble Blake

So we finally got to celebrate Blake's birthday at preschool this week. I asked him if he would like me to put B's on the top of each cupcake. He said yes, he wanted Bees.
