Trying to reason with a 3 year old! I tell you, I think I'll take Boston's third year off if it continues to go the way it is going now. Maybe I'm unreasonable in my expectations, but he's a smart kid, so I think he should be getting the message. A little too smart, maybe. If he has an accident, he tries to take care of it himself, which may sound like a good thing until you find stinky, wet underwear in dark corners of our new home.
Also, am I asking too much when I ask him to hold still for anything? The kid can't be still to save his life. If he were trying to hide from a T-Rex in Jurassic park, he would make an hours douvers of himself!
At any rate, you can't help but love the kid. Read Jenny's last post to get a flavor of his amazingly cute and funny side. Another example from last night, we were heading home from a family reunion and he was tired and grumpy. He fiddles around in his seat and managed to get himself entangled in his car seat straps. He starts freaking out, "Get me out! I'm stuck".
Again we try reasoning with him. "Boston," Jenny says, "we can't get you out until we stop the car."
He continues his unreasonably loud and incessant freak fest. In an effort to calm him, we offer him a drink of water. Without stopping, he tells us "That's not going to get me out."

That was hilarious! I still think of him as a fairly quiet little baby.

That is hilarious! Seriously, I would have laughed harder, but I might have given birth!
