avery chronicles

so, the kids (june, clo, and avery) are all laying on their bellies in the sun after some slip n slide action..and avery just decides to get up...spit on junipers back, lean over and spit on chloe's back.

ok ,. so , i grab him, put him in a chair outside, and tell him to sit there in time out.

after a few minutes, i go back over to the chair,
"avery. its not nice to spit on people. juniper and chloe dont like it when you spit on them. Would you like it if someone spit on you?"

his reply,
"ya, i love spit on me."
he leans over, spits a mass amount of saliva onto his own leg, "see..spit on my leg. i love spit!"
and he leans over again, and proceeds to lick it off his own leg.

..and..ya..um....he's not joking. hes totally into it. so, the whole me-teaching-him- to-feel-compassion-thing(about other people not liking being spit on), hes just not gonna quite get that yet i dont think .

That was yesterday. Today he climbed out his bedroom window because he didnt want to take a nap...( i stood outside his bedroom door for a bit, and thought, wow, hes being so good. not a peep! ...and i could go on and on about that whole situation today.
