Easier talking to a brick wall
2 days ago, we signed a contract with EJ, stating (among other things) he will do what he is told without whining or throwing a fit. Today, I tell the boys to clean their room. EJ opts to play on his Wii, so I take the Wii remote away. then he opts to watch TV instead. When I unplugged the TV, he told me I am "being nasty". I reminded him of the contract he signed. Wound up having to take away a couple other things from him. (as he is worse than Connor in THAT regard). Had to sit back there yelling at Connor to get him moving because he will focus intently on one teeny tiny thing (like putting a single lincoln log away) and forget the world around him, so the only way to bring him back to Earth is shouting.
So, it has been around 3 hours since their task to clean began.. and they still are not done. they should have been done 2 hours ago! Dealing with these kids is like talking to a brick wall!!!
We survived yesterdays storms. power went out sometime after 5pm (like, 5:30?) and came back on around 11pm. When dealing with two small children, that is an eternity for EVERYONE! No damage here at the house, we havent looked up at the property yet.
Zoey is doing well, blending in great with the family. She sleeps in our bed every night. She and the cat get along great, she hasnt been having too many accidents in the house lately, so that is a plus. And she is very very sweet and loveable.
