No picture of the poopoo painting, don't worry. Instead a picture of her being cute in a second hand dress I got for $4.
When I told Mari, he shrugged and said that he used to play with his poop all the time too.
So after the poo painting incident, I put my foot down and switched to a very mean mommy. I made them 'clean' their room. Basically meaning that I would hold things up and ask them where it goes, then give it to one of them to put away. No one was allowed to leave till the room was spotless. I also folded all the clothes in the closet, and moved Kaio's to the lower shelf where he can reach them. Since he dresses himself now, he needs to be able to reach the clothes. On days that I've forgotten to leave clothes out for him on the floor, he'll come into our room in the morning wearing a pair of Nene's pants.
We spent all day at home cleaning things instead of going to a museum 'to look at princess dresses,' (sigh) like we had discussed. I was peeved and stayed pretty firm all day, but things worked out. After a day of cleaning, the kitchen still remained only half done. I really miss our maid! She moved to Bolivia a few months ago. I sent her a message on facebook begging her to come back.
Same deal with nap time. I said that it was time to take a rest. Kaio said "No!" I took Nene up and mr. independent eventually followed.
He's such a lover boy |
