Frustration

When it gets to the end of the night and I want the kids in bed so I can get some things done, I get super frustrated when bedtime is prolonged.  Porter has a hard time going to bed.  He goes and goes until the last second his body finally stops and he crashes.  Well, tonight I just wanted to clean the bathroom before going to bed.  Porter was still up at 9:30pm. This is right around when I want to be in bed.  After spending the last 1/2 hour super frustrated that he kept coming out of bed, he finally laid down and was almost asleep.  I went to tell him I was sorry and I loved him.  He said, "You were mad at me.  I don't want you to be mad at me."  I love him.  I don't want to be mad either.  He really just doesn't want to miss out.  He really wanted to help me clean the bathroom just like he wants to help with everything else.  Tonight he told David he was going to vacuum and I was not going to help.  Not only was I not going to help, he did not want me to help and he screamed if I tried to help.  I hope he always wants to help.

He is so silly.  He always asks to take a bath in Jonas's bath.  Tonight I finally let him...he didn't play forever like he normally does.  I don't think it was that comfortable.

He also always wants to eat Jonas's baby food.  I found out that's one way to get him to eat veggies.  He says, "It's not yucky, it's yummy."

And this big boy now sits and plays with us.  Yeah!  Although Porter does not like if he grabs something he's playing with or if he knocks over something he's building.  Just wait until he starts crawling:).
