Well,when Ben got home from school today I looked at his school papers. He didn't do as great as I know he can do, because I didn't realize last week that the even were starting to do homework. So, I am making up for lost time and being a slacker mommy.Any ways. we worked on what come First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth. And after awhile it was going alright, but it was getting late and after asking him many times to say FOURTH and not THOURTH, I finally told him that was enough for tonight. Well he thought he was in trouble and started crying how he didn't want to stop because "he hadn't learned everything he wanted to learn" It was kind of cute. But then he started crying and yelling. So I left the room and went to talk to my mom, and he came down the hall yelling "YOUR BEING MEAN TO ME, YOU WON'T LET ME LEARN, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU ANYMORE" So, since he back talks like that ALL the time, I decided that was enough sent him to his room and told him it was bedtime. After finally calming him down and talking about it, I told him. "its not nice to tell someone your never going to talk to someone again, especially when you know you WILL talk to them, and that you should say, I don't want to talk to you right now, because I am upset" So I tucked him into bed and was about to head downstairs, and he said "mommy, I want to tell you something." He comes to the stairs and says "I just..... wanted to..... tell you.... that next time... i'll say that I'm upset....... hdakd..... ikdal... I couldn't make out the rest, but it was sooooo sweet I just wanted to cry.
