Butt Heads

When my Lauryn was 4 and she was mad at me, she would hold her breath and make her face turn bright red.  I’d say Okay sweet lady you can have your way Please stop holding your breath!  Such an intense child, the next time she’d be mad at mommy I’d say Oh sweet lady, Please don’t hold your breath and make your face turn red!  And she’d do it 🙂

When I was bullied in grade school I asked my mother what to do.  She said ignore it and it will go away.  That didn’t work out so great for me so I asked my father.  He said to hit them harder and lower.  I could back then, I was a little badass back then and it worked.  If done right, you only have to do it once.

Jack gets mad at his mommy too 🙁  He has decided to squat on the floor, (make sure I’m looking…)  and tap his forehead on the hardwood floor.  Hmm.  I can’t hit my sweet boy in the head…so I’ve decided to ignore it and hopefully it goes away. 

My Mother In Law came over with some summer outfits for Jack.  I told her what he was doing and she told me she saw America’s Funniest Home Videos and there was a babe that would do the exact same thing.  He would follow his mother to each room and bounce his head off the floor, I even think they won the $10,000.00. 

Mothers worry, I want him to stop that.  In two days, if he’s still doing it…I think I’ll fake a fit.  I’ll be so sad and crying, and he’ll give me kisses and never do it again.  He kissed the floor yesterday, and the dog’s butt.   People still shouldn’t leave him hanging.  They don’t know he kissed the dog’s butt and his kisses are Never snotty or slobbery.  He’s a very good kisser and he leaned over to my 16 year old nephew with intent to kiss in his eye.  The kid gave him his cheek and I said oh poor Jack, he left you hanging.  Again Jack leaned in with intent to kiss and the nephew puckered up said mmmmm, took it like a man 🙂

Jack was up every hour night before last and was the most high maintenance babe that day.  He had two baths and went through 6 outfits and two sets of sheets.  Exhausting, and the head butting floors.  Last night I kept him up until ten.  I put him in a grubby outfit and took him out to the garage with my husband and Lauryn.  We all made that garage looking just like it should and we just loved each other, it was the best part of my day:)  I gave Jack a late bath and that child did not wake up until 9 this morning. 

He’s about to wake from his nap, and hasn’t head butted any floors this day….did or do any of your kids ever do that?
