Well I
am almost there... Tomorrow morning Avery gets his toys back & I
get my room back, yay!!! It's a win-win situation, lol.... It's been a
scorcher here today, thank the good Lord I got a cool apartment.... Just
got done eating dinner... Avery had a mini pizza & would you
believe it, he ate the whole thing!!! That's a first for him. But it's
like I told him, this is what's for dinner if you don't
like it you won't be eating dinner tonight... Some people might think
I'm hard core but he needs to be thankful for having something to eat
for dinner... I told him their are kids in other countries who would
love to have a mini pizza instead of digging through garbage cans... He
agreed... What can I say... Except I'm gonna make sure I raise him the
best that I can & let God do the rest... So I don't really care what
people think... It's what God thinks that matters....
So
today Avery asks me "so when do I get my toys?" I asked him "what have I
been telling you for the past two days about when you get your toys?"
His reply "On Saturday... Is it Saturday yet?" I asked him "what day did
I tell you it was earlier?" His reply "oh it's still Friday... Can I
have my toys tonight instead of tomorrow?" My reply "I think you know
the answer to that question Avery." His reply
"oh well at least I only have to be bored tonight and then I get my
toys." My reply "That is only true if you do not test me again." His
reply "What is a test?" My reply "there are many different tests and the
one I'm talking about is this... If I ask you to pick up your toys
& you tell me no then your toys will be taken away again. What I
mean by test is if you don't believe that I will take them away, look at
what happened last time." His reply "oh I get it... Can I just have one
toy mommy?" My reply "no not until tomorrow." His reply "Mommy you
don't love me." My reply "yes I do & I will not let you grow up with
no humility, respect, & honor! You will do as you are told or you
will have no privileges. I am doing this because I do love you!" His
reply "Oh, okay... I love you too mommy!"
Also
tonight for brushing our teeth we played copy cat... He loved it! He did
say "mommy when do I get some different toothpaste?" I told him when I
get money, he said okay... But there was no power struggle or
anything... He really liked the copy cat game... That's right you have a
child who hates brushing their teeth make it fun....
