Don't laugh, Don't Laugh

Ever try to discipline your kid (or kids) only to have them do something hilarious? Now you have to be firm, while stifling a smile or laugh? hahaha. This happens to me all the time. Anthony often breaks out in to gymnastics when I tell him it is nap time. Shouts excerpts from "Go Dog, Go" when I want him to behave and use his "inside voice" in the store.

Today, he was in the process of clearing out the cabinets so he can hide in there. The conversation went like this.

Me: Anthony, we are not hiding in the cabinets right now. Mommy is cleaning the kitchen.
Anthony: *without making eye contact* Oh. *Continues to take pots and pans out of the cabinet*
Me: *Getting irritated* Anthony look at me. Put the pans back and close the cabinet.
Anthony: *Tries to hurry in to the cabinet*
Me: *After pulling Anthony out of the cabinet* Anthony this is your last warning. You are going to get a punishment if you do not obey. You need to listen to mommy and obey mommy.
Anthony: All day?????

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!! Yes all day, you little booger! I don't know how I didn't laugh at that, but I kept a straight face long enough to say, "Yes, all day."

We're back!

     Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies.       My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk.      So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play.  Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs:  "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.

Saturday Fun!
