Bryan the Trickster

Afternoon Musing 1
Bryan refused to take a nap. So he hopped and hopped on the bed and around the house. So I made a deal with him that he’d get a tic-tac candy only after he woke up from his nap.

So the little mind started tinkering…..

He laid his head down on my laps, made some snoring noise, and two seconds later he picked up his head and exclaimed, “I woke up! I want candy.”

We all laughed pretty hard after that…

Afternoon Musing 2
So after some “intense” negotiation, we decided that Bryan could have one tic-tac before he napped. And I made him promise (like that’d ever hold) he’d go to bed once he had his tic-tac; and he agreed. But once he had the tic-tac in hand, he put it in his mouth and declared he didn’t need to go to bed anymore!

So these are the stories of how I was tricked by a two-year-old, TWICE, in a day.

It turned out that Costco had some free samplings of eggnogs, and Bryan had one too many. Considering how sweet most American eggnog products are, that was probably enough fuel to take another Apollo Mission to the moon and back for a two-year-old…

Oh~~ the hard lessons of parenthood…
