High Maintenance

I decided that Logan has been and probably will be a lot harder child than the girls. Yeah they are emotional and back talk, but since they are emotional, they get sad when they get in trouble.

Logan could care less. He'll cry when he gets in trouble, because he doesn't want to be in trouble, not because he cares that he made me mad or sad or he hurt someone or something. Plus he is crazy. He gets into things he knows he's not supposed to touch and even more if I specifically tell him not to. He jumps on and off of things and throws things, etc.

.

The funniest thing is how he loves clothes. You'd think the girls would be the one to love clothes, which they do, but not like Logan. He loves to change his clothes often and picks out his own everyday now. I put two pairs of socks on him when he went out to play in the snow and now I find him wearing two pairs just for fun.

So I knew that a boy would be different. I have friends with only boys and I have lots of nephews, but when its your own, it's different. Usually I can "scare" him enough to get him to mind me but for some reason this morning, he didn't care even more than usual.

I'm trying to work out and he is pushing the other kids (bigger than him, not smart) and growling in their face and then hitting them when they yell at him to stop.

.

.

Now the rule at the church is that all kids have to stay inside the gym with us. No going in the halls without your parents. Logan has known this forever. He went out in the hall on Monday and got a time out for it. That didn't phase him I guess cause he went out twice today. The second time playing in the drinking fountain and soaking himself.

.

.

.

At this point I'm pretty frustrated with him, then a little girl keeps playing with the lights and he decides (after I told him to let her mom tell her not to) to make her stop. He turns them back on and starts pushing her down.

.

.

.

That was it. I have never left early from aerobics since I started going two years ago, but today I left early. We got home and I put him right in his room.

I sure hope he gets out of this phase or he may spent lots and lots of time in his room. Maybe thats not a bad thing though:)
