What kind of child do I have? The kind that when asked if he wanted corn, which I thought for sure he would want, instead grabs a can of peas from the cabinet. When he was a baby, he wouldn’t eat any green veggies, only orange ones. Now, he can’t get enough of them.

I also have the kind of child, that after being cut off from drinking anything after 7 pm, sneaks drinks from the bathroom faucets and while putting back the pitcher of juice that I left out, sneaks a drink from that also. I told him that I am tired of washing his Sponge Bob sheets so he better stop but I doubt that he will. My lil sneak…..

My beautiful little jelly bean, AJ loves to test my patience and what he can get away with constantly. After his doing this all day, I finally had enough, last night and told him he could just go to bed. This was around 10:00. He should have been in bed earlier but was not. I get tired of constantly having to repeat myself or to raise my voice so he ends up staying awake past his bedtime quite often.

Even though, AJ didn’t go to sleep until almost midnight, when I awoke to use the bathroom at 7:00, his father told me that he had been awake for about an hour. So, I made him climb in bed with me. I slept until 10:30, while AJ has been up for about 15 minutes.

Right now, AJ’s upset with me because the amount of eggs that I saved for him is not enough. Of course, it isn’t. Things are never right, at first. Eventually, he gives in and eats or agrees to whatever.

Calgon, take me away!! 😉

Daddy and I recently cut most of AJ’s hair off. He had a mop of hair and would sweat badly when he went outside. He’s petrified of having his neck and hair buzzed. He wouldn’t hold still so he ended up with lots of marks on his neck from the extension on the clippers.

Tonight, I decided to take my woman’s razor and trim the hair still left on his neck. I told him what I was going to do but he still moved and I cut a big chunk out of the bottom of the back. I kept trying to trim it up but he kept moving so it looks like crap. Oh well, it will grow back……..

Nothing really new has happened so far this summer. Hopefully, next month, I can finally get AJ his glasses. He was supposed to have had them in January. I haven’t had the money to get them and his dad hasn’t given me any. I feel like a failure as a parent because I haven’t been able to afford his glasses. I am just trying to make ends meet and keep a place to live with electricity.

Yesterday, we had a full day. We had to go to Daddy’s company picnic, then we went to Dave and Buster’s, which is a video game place. AJ had fun there, let me tell you. After that Daddy called up one of his friends that he hasn’t seen in a while and we went there. AJ got to play with their 2 yr old son. Both of the boys were happy to have someone to play with. We left around 9:30 at night and got home after 10:00. AJ was tired and sunburned. After a few pieces of pizza and  a quick bath, he was off to bed.

I’ve been neglecting my baby’s blog but at least I don’t neglect him.

AJ’s been working on learning his letters and numbers. He can show me on his fingers up to five but he can count to ten. He still skips some of his letters. We just need to get him to learn them visually. He knows all of his primary colors and some shapes.

I am not a very good teacher. He learns a lot from TV and when he visits my sister. He doesn’t like to sit down and write on paper for me. He can’t write a single letter or number.

I took AJ’s to Grandma yesterday since we didn’t get to see her for mother’s day. We spent the night and came home today. Saturday, AJ had lots of fun. He ran around her big yard and played. His aunt and uncle picked him up from Grandma’s and took him to their respective houses to visit.

I got a nice surprise Thursday morning. I forgot my coffee at home and two-wayed Daddy via Nextel. When he didn’t answer, I shut my phone off. Little did I know, AJ had awoke when I left for work at 5:30. As I was working, I looked up to see Daddy and AJ. I looked down and noticed what AJ had in his hands, my coffee! I hurried over to them and took it from AJ, thanking him.

They left my area and went to see my boss, D. Daddy knows D because he used to work there. Later in the day, D told me that after she talked to AJ for a while, she asked him for a kiss and he puckered up, giving her a great big kiss on the month. She thinks AJ is the greatest and very smart. 🙂
