But...more often than not, and sometimes in rapid succession, I have Mom moments of a "not so brilliant" nature. Kinda on the stupid side.
Like today...when I made Little Red a peanut butter sandwich (yeay...for freedom from peanut allergies)...WITH jam. Little Red HATES jam. Or so he says (although I don't believe him).
I know it...he knows it...we both know it.
And I did it anyway...knowing he would throw a huge hissy fit.
And...
this is where the "stupid" comes in...
I had the "who knows what" to get angry with him when he got upset about it. Yeah...like I was really mad....as if I couldn't believe what was happening.
What????
Like I said....not one of my most "brilliant" moments.
H.E.L.L.O!
But...lucky for me, it all worked out in the end. I hoped it would.
He did eat it...eventually. And even liked it, saying "It's sort of good" (which in Little Red language means, "this is actually really good I just don't want to admit it because I'm too stubborn.").
I'm sure the reward of a handful of Heath Bar Baking Bits hanging over his head, with a threat that he would not get any if he didn't eat the sandwich "all gone", had something to do with it.
Maybe next time I will channel my limited brain power toward something a little less antagonistic.
Bad mommy......bad.....bad...
Just one easy click!

How dare you!!!
This morning I had the nerve to mix two different kinds of cereal together. My 3-year-old went a little crazy on me, but he also ate the whole thing in the end. :)
He he he...isn't it amazing GGM. Wow...and they think we know NOTHING!
I can't decide who's the more stubborn one in our house - me or the three year old? It's so hard when you know an explosion is coming, but you push it anyway. Do you ever see God looking down on us and trying to stifle his giggles?
