Monday: Joshua

Oh, Joshua was not in a happy mood this morning.  We needed to bring Isaac to school and then we were going to go grocery shopping.

As it was time to put his shoes on, he suddenly got "too sleepy" and was crying all over the place.  He's pulled this before, but usually he'll come get his shoes on.  Today my threat of 'putting his coat and shoes on him myself and having neither of us happy about it' didn't work, so I had to do it.  Of course, I put the wrong shoes on.  (They're the shoes that he prefers, so that was obviously a stalling tactic.)  I was right...neither of us enjoyed it.  I felt most bad for Isaac, who had to deal with a screaming brother and no other recourse.  Once in the car he calmed down and was downright happy by the time we got to the grocery store.

I did want to mention a cute quote from Joshua on Thursday though.  He was putting Grey Bear in his backpack for school and said that Grey Bear was going to sleep because, "he's a sleepy little guy."  He said it in his little voice and it was just so cute.
