I was letting the boys stay up late, but unfortunately they have not behaved today - and I needed a break - so they went to bed early. Well, I was just pulling my dinner (pizza) out of the oven. I got it out and went to get the boys to sleep. After about 10 minutes, I figured it was going to take a while to get him to sleep, so I went and fixed my plate. I took it in his room with me so I could eat while I was patting his back. This is how the conversation went.
Bryce: Can you quit patting my butt? (so I started patting his back)
Can you get that food out of my room?
Me: No I am eating dinner.
Bryce: Well, I don't want it in here.
Me: Neither do I!
Bryce: Well Daddy says I can't have food in here! (never mind I tell him that about 100 times a day - but since Daddy said it once...)
Me: YOU can't have food in here - I am not you though! (I know I am supposed to set an example!!)
Bryce: (a few minutes later) Are you still eating?
Me: Yes
Bryce: You have to give me some!
Me: No I don't!
Bryce: Can I have your dessert? (I did not have any!!)
(I pick up my drink) I need a drink!
Me: No it is bed time!
Bryce: I am hot!
Me: I am sorry.
Bryce: I need my big blanket! (why do you need a big blanket if you are hot under a little blanket?)
My arm hurts. (pointing to nothing on his arm)
Me: I am sorry - but there is nothing there. Go to sleep and it will feel better.
Bryce: Well, I can't. Bear Bear needs his fire suit on to go to sleep.
Me: His suit is in the washer.
Bryce: Well it is clean then, put it on him.
Me: It is wet.
Bryce: no it not!
When I finally got him to quit talking - he fell right to sleep!
