WildChild is spending a few weeks with us, and thanks to a medication change, is mostly behaving like a normal 7 yr. old. In a rare instance of moderate misbehavior yesterday, he was being punished by his dad by being sent to bed early. I was in his room putting away laundry, and he came in & began to whine about his punishment to me.
"Hey" I said "you're whining to the wrong person. I'm not the one who said you had to go to bed early."
Instant normal voice "Then who should I whine to?" he asked.
"That would be your dad" I replied.
"Oh ok, thanks Ma!" He left to find his dad, and I heard the whining begin again. "Daaad, I don't wanna go to bed early" [/whine]
It's a good thing they're still cute at that age.
Mike's having back surgery today, hopefully everything will go well. Now we'll have matching scars, which will be a little weird. We're slowly turning into one of those old couples...we already frequently wear matching clothes, albeit unintentionally.
Just as long as we don't take up square dancing.
Wish him luck.
