Today was one of those Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde days.
Pumpkin was one challenge after another. He copped a huge attitude at the grocery store, which resulted in no one getting donuts today ~ a first to be sure. Then at the end of lunch, we had a stand-off over pudding. Pumpkin will be five soon and he still insists on being fed "messy" food. I will not do it, but daddy often gives in. So the spoon remained on the table through a tantrum, Pumpkin was sent to his room for a required nap time, and the pudding returned to the refrigerator. Since Pumpkin has fluid in his ears (he has surgery for tubes coming up), he has no concept of volume control right now. I think he is stuck on as LOUD as can be, which is a bit too LOUD for my ears to take. If only I were an ostrich and could put my head in a nice quite hole. Needless to say Pumpkin is still up, but hopefully the hyper buzz will end and he will get to sleep soon.
Princess on the other hand, was quite the doll today. She actually ate her pancakes instead of playing with them. She helped daddy crack mixed nuts, then of course helped to eat them. She helped me out when asked. She picked up dominoes that she had dumped out (without being asked). She gave lots of hugs and kisses. She ended her day with Ladybug Girl Loves . . . as a bedtime story.
