I'm just going to let JackMN stare at the tv for the next hour.
Because I'm so freaking exhausted by him, I can't even think about doing anything else.

He and SophieMN had their preschool picnic. I spent the whole time chasing him and preventing him from creating mini-disasters. When we had to get ready to leave, he got ragingly pissed, wouldn't let me put his socks and shoes on, and proceeded to completely and utterly flip out. I was trying to get ahold of him to carry him out, while hit me, ripped my hair out, bit me, and bashed his head into my face.
I couldn't even carry him. I had to stop, sit in a chair and wrap my arms around his torso to immobilize him, until he calmed down enough for me to haul him away.

It's not even noon, yet.

:scared:

3. I'm letting him watch tv until nap time.
The day he gives up naps I'm requesting massive quantities of valium.

8. Lol!
Really, I wanted to spank him, something fierce. Instead I just sat there and didn't let him move. He screams and thrashes, and tries to bite, but after awhile he goes limp and gives up and is usually calm after that.
It's hard, though, he's really strong for a little kid!
