The Jerks

Sometimes it is hard to remember that they are only little kids.
Sometimes you get very mad and have to bite your tongue because they don't know any better.

Ben has an ear infection and has been very cranky. He also has a short fuse when it comes to mealtime and if he is not fed promptly he screams and whines and cries. As soon as he eats, he is fine.

Jack has entered a picky phase. He does not eat for very minute reasons and will forgo some of his favorite foods for no apparent reason. These are common 3 year old things to do.

But they are very frustrating and annoying.

Today, stepping back, the boys were pretty good overall.

Ben screamed when he wanted lunch.
Jack was very picky about lunch.
Jack would not stay down for his nap.

3 issues in an eight hour day. Not too bad. They seem worse in the thick of it because I have lots of work to do and they can get very loud.

After they go to bed and I think back I am sure I will realize it was rough but not Armageddon.

Sometimes it is easier to think they are pissy little men rather than tiny little kids.

Those two boys need serious help.
