Christian has a new go to line in his bag of tricks. The sentence usually starts Mom said.... or Dad said....and then is followed by whatever he wants to at the time. An example. I am getting him ready for bed and he says "Dad said I could watch Batman." When his Dad is sitting right in the other room and said no such thing. Or when Dad is getting him ready to come in from playing outside and he said "Mom said 5 more minutes" When again, I am standing right there and I said no such thing. Then Friday night he threw in a "Gran said" just for good measure.
This morning Christian and Mom had a difference of opinion (to put it nicely) and what should be done with some particular toys in the bathroom. Let's just say this lead to being quite upset with me. Then he demanded to be giving a sticker for something he has done. I ask him if his behavior has earned a sticker. He says no and I agree. So I lead him into the living room. His fit is at about a level 10 now. I put him on the sofa and I put his shoes on him (he is still crying at this point). I ask him if he is upset with me... he nods yes. I ask if it is because I wouldn't give him a sticker...again he nods yes. I ask him is he is upset about anything else (trying to get him to actually tell me what he is upset about) and that is when he says "I WANT MY DADDY." I hugged him, but I had to laugh a little too.
