Oh my sweet Finn. You are sometimes a bit like Jekyll and Hyde. Thursday, when Daddy got home you said to Gus- "that's my daddy- he's my friend." And sometimes when V cries, he will come up to her and pat s her back and says "it otay Genevive, it otay." And these are the times where I think to myself , what a sweet child I have. The one who doles out hugs and kisses, gives high-fives, and can answer bunches of questions and is just so damn smart.
But sometimes...sometimes...the child is crazy. Like, how he scrunches up his nose when ANYONE other than me, randy or my parents speak to him; how he repeatedly says "I tan't" to anything/everything you ask him to do.
And, most recently, how he tries to lie to get out of doing things. If I tell him to go get his shoes, or go to bed. He screams "SOMETHING WRONG?"
When I calmly ask him, "what's wrong?" He responds by screeching "there's a bee on me."
Ummm...what?
Last night at bedtime he told me that there was a bee up his nose.
If you do not deal with this atrocity RIGHT AWAY the kid goes insane. Screams and cries "ow ow ouch!"
Then, this morning he woke up sick, and I have to ask myself...is my child a bipolar liar? Or is he simply trying to explain that his head feels fuzzy? Or he hears a ringing/buzzing sound?
Or is he just trying to confuse the hell out of me, so I give up and let him watch Mickey Mouse for 10 days straight? Because he may be winning, I'm just sayin'.
Then, he keeps saying, when I go to put him to bed, "I tan't there's a boy in there."
Ummm...seriously? That is creepy, like really creepy. What am I supposed to do with that? Does my son see a creepy ghost? Does he have an imaginary friend? Or is he just a bipolar liar?
I don't know, but whatever the answer--I am fairly certain that, whatever battle of wills Finn and I are in, I am losing.
