I am dedicating each day of the week unto a different member of the family. Today, is Little Man.
Bode
While Hadley was at art camp last week, Bode and I bonded a lot. I haven’t spent copious amounts of one-on-one time with him since he started preschool so it was an eye-opening experience.
On Wednesday, he started T-ball with his bestie Seanie.
And yes, greater lover hath no mom than she who enrolls her son in a sport that bores her to tears.
Bode has always been sweet, thoughtful and loving but he is going through a phase that is driving us nuts: he is lazy. The little dude has the same excuse for everything.
“Bode, go wash your hands.”
“I’m too tired.”
“Bode, I asked you to finish your smoothie.”
“I’m too tired.”
He has always been a lot more shy than his sister but usually rises to the challenge and delves into new situations with her. Without his wingman, he completely reverted back to being much more introverted and often begged me to just take him home.
Evidently everyone needs a Type A, brazen, man-hating older sister around (see yesterday’s post for details).
In tomorrow’ Week of the Family, I am featuring the Lord of the Gourds who committed the ultimate fashion faux-pas: he dared to criticize his wife’s outfit.
