The Wife, the boy and the Epic Battle of Wills--part 2

Well.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I thought that the Boy had set his own schedule?

Yeah.

Not so much now. Apparently that growth spurt from Hell messed him up spectacularly and now he's on the Whatever I Want Whenever I Want it Schedule of suckitude for the Wife. So, I am taking the proverbial bull by the horns.

We are putting this Boy on a schedule starting this week. Oh, I can feel the resistance brewing. I can see it in his wee face, that Boy is plotting his mutiny.

I am planning on the month of October being just about as miserable and unpleasant as a 3 month old can contrive to make it (i.e. PRETTY MISERABLE), but I remain confident that I am both more stubborn and diabolical than he is (after all, I've had several decades worth of practice whereas he is still a novice).

So, if you do not hear from me very often this month, do not despair, just know that there is an Epic Battle of Wills taking place, again. And I will notify you all when I am victorious.

For now, here's a picture of my cute sweet boy when he's getting his way all the time and happy!

I don't know about the stubborn streak, but I can tell you that your kid has a serious CUTE streak. Honestly, his pictures are consistently above average in cuteness.

Nice. I've learned one great thing about putting a child on a schedule...taking a shower during the screaming is an awesome noise-buffer! :) Good luck!

That pic is just too stinking cute!!

And good luck!! Just remember, if things get too bad - just bring him here to me and I'll make him do some number crunching ... that'll send him running back to mommy ready to rethink that schedule! ;)

Miss ya, sweetie.

Man, good luck! If he's anything like Eli, he'll scream bloody murder, but he'll be just fine. Oh, the drama!!
