I had no idea being a parent could be so difficult. Today I came to the realization that it is not the fact that I have three kids, but the fact that I have just one REALLY NAUGHTY kid!! Any guesses which one it is??? Yeah, I'm sure you guessed it--Tyson.
So, what makes Tyson such a bad little boy? Here is a list of the few things he likes to do:
-run away from Mom and Dad (or just wander off)
-play in the toilet
-scream, arch his back, and have a complete meltdown EVERY time he needs to get in his carseat (and with all the running around we have to do now that school has started this happens at least 4 times a day)
-unload all the cupboards and drawers over and over and over...
-be held by Mommy at all times (unless Mom wants to hold him)
-run into the pool during Kya's swimming lessons
-struggles to get out of whatever he is buckled into (stroller, cart, carseat) and this struggling also involves a lot of screaming and throwing things
-takes off his pants and diaper and runs around naked
-refuses to cooperate when Mom tries to change his diaper
-insists on Mom coming with him everywhere he wants to go
-says "no, no, no!" whenever the girls are watching something he doesn't want to watch
-screams and cries EVERY time Mom has to leave
-arches his back when you try to pick him up when he doesn't want you to
-gets in and out of the bathtub the entire time I am trying to give him a bath
-turns on the hose and makes mud every time he goes outside
-tries to catch and pinch the bees that land on the flowers in our front garden (it's only a matter of time before he gets bitten--I am sure)
Oh my gosh, this list could go on forever!!! Really Tyson just wants to do everything he is NOT allowed to do and he doesn't want to do anything I need him to do. It is quite a frustrating life--for Mom and for Tyson. I am starting to see those looks from other people that say "can't you take care of your kid?". All I can say to them and the rest of you is ; this is new to me (my girls were such angels at this age-right?) and I am doing the best that I can--seriously.
I know Tyson is sweet too. The majority of time I do look at him and wonder if there could ever be a cuter little boy. His grin makes me melt, which makes it hard to be mad at the little guy. Just today when he was refusing to take a nap, I went upstairs and found him in his crib with his diaper off and he refused to let me lay him down. He stood at the end of the crib with such a silly expression on his cute little face that I almost let him get out of bed. What am I going to do with that boy?

Whitney went through a phase where she wouldn't keep her diaper on either. I literally had to duct tape it to keep it on her for her naps.It started with just a little duct tape but after a few days, it went all the way around her diaper. A little while after she realized that she couldn't take her diaper off anymore, she gave up on that trick and moved onto something else like climbing out of her crib. :)
Hey Anita! Your little terror sounds a lot like Brody. Do you ever look at other people's perfectly behaved children who know the whole alphabet by 4 months and think, "What is wrong with me?" I do. I can't believe how big your girls are...and Tyson looks JUST like Mike! I'm glad you found us! I put a link to your blog on mine so I can take a look every once in a while. We miss you guys!
Gee Anita, for some reason I know EXACTLY how you feel. Tyson sounds a lot like Dalton particularly. I know it all can't be attributed to gender, but the infinite energy and lack of caution can (in my opinion). It's certainly frustrating, and eventually I learned to ignore what other people think. The good thing is, they get less reckless with age.
