Kaden you are becoming more and more independent. As we approach the milestone of the terrible twos I see more and more challenges ahead. We hear more no’s and absolutely not’s in our home. And all of the no’s are said out of love.
No, you may not use the toilet water to rinse your tooth brush. I love you this much.
You may not go down the stairs head first. I love you this much.
Absolutely not, get down from that counter top. I love you this much.
No, Kaden. No, you may not play out front all alone. I love you this much.
It isn’t going to happen, Mister. You cannot sit in the fireplace. I love you this much.
Nope. Stop screaming and squirming around you will have your diaper changed. I love you this much.
Uh, sorry. You cannot shave, clip your own nails or start your own bath. I love you this much.
Yea, no-no. We are not going to pick up that cigarette butt. I love you this much.
Hey, stop it! You will go to time out. I love you this much.
I swear to God. Do not bite me again or I will bite you back. I love you this much.
Uh-oh. You can’t feed the dogs all of your breakfast. What will you eat? I love you this much.
No you cannot stay up past 7:30. I love you this much.
Sorry, kiddo. We don’t eat dinner in the living room. We sit at the table. I love you this much.
This is your warning. I will not reply to you when you scream in my face. I love you this much.
Ewe. Gross, don’t! We don’t open our mouths for puppy kisses! I love you this much.
I love you enough to set limits and guidelines in hopes to give you the gifts of discipline, respect, consideration, fairness, security, rational, reason and caution. There will come a day when you think it is out of spite or perhaps I am too old to get it. When this day comes I may repeat what Daddy says, “If you don’t like it you should have had me!”Regardless, I promise my reason will never be, “Because I said so” and no matter my reason will always be “Because I love you this much”.

ReplyDeleteRobert Molner i love it!! however, there are a few things that you should be a little lenient on. going down the stairs head first is fine if there are pillows at the bottom or he has a helmet on. toilet water is fine as long as it is flushed twice and puppy kisses are ok as long as they havent licked their butt in the last 30 minutes. at least there is no rock climbing in your house. ask adam about that one. i also have a story about shaving that i will tell you next time i see you. remind me.
ReplyDeleteKayla Adams Love it! We are having "Kayla" fits in our home right now. This consists of throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get his way (no, not Bill, Bryson). Sometimes I have to turn to laugh because I know I had it coming and it keeps me from crying. At the end of the day, everything we do for these babies is because we love them!
