so onto the major world problems in our household starting with breakfast that can be quite shocking-
We are out of Reese puffs (mom come on life cereal is not the same)
I didn't want milk on my cereal (whoa yesterday you did)
Finish your cereal bud. I have to scratch my butt first (Ya didn't need to know that)
The iPad is dead (whose responsibility is it to plug it in hmmm🤔)
My water is warm (drink it faster right)
I wanted the blue cup (hey at least you're getting a cup lol)
Where's my other shoe (yep just find the dog)
Can't find my second set of keys (where's the first)
I didn't want crust on my sandwich (hey it will make your hair curly)
Why doesnt Starbucks have Almond milk (caribou does thank goodness!)
I wanted to wear boots not shoes (life's not fair)
He is in my seat (well you are in mine)
I want to watch the real Scooby Doo not the cartoon (what's the difference? )
I wanted a red smoothie (me too)
Where's my cherry on top of the chocolate shake (really you are used to a cherry on top of your shake oh my)
I want to wear shorts I don't care that it's winter (your legs do)
I don't want to wear shorts (it'll be I told you so when you say it's too hot in 10 minutes)
My tummy is talking and says it wants a cookie (I think I hear it saying carrots)
I want sprinkles on my yogurt (aye aye captain I swear I wasn't a Sailor in another life)
I didn't want that many sprinkles and a yogurt (really?!?)
I don't have anything to wear (as you stare at a closet full of clothes whaaat? Maybe he needs glasses. Adding needs eyes check to the list)
We need a new bed (hey sleep in the old one first)
Why is the Internet so slow (babe if only you experienced dial up)
Why doesn't this have a seat heater (is your butt specifically cold, boy be glad we have a heater)
I wanted extra ice , he wanted no ice (can we confuse the "staff" anymore)
Back to yogurt who knew vanilla was hot comodey, why is there no yogurt (eat one at a time!)
I want to go out the door first (hey are you for real right now as we are 10 minutes late)
Where's Dominic's pacifier( loudest voice I truly have ever heard a so when he cries everyone dives for the plug)
He is bothering me (well at least we have brothers to bother you)
I want my birthday to come first (right on that lol)
And the list goes on & on but at the end of the day I hope I can bring some foundation to these boys in a more entertaining rememberable way...gosh especially in what seems to be like big problems for them & teach them the more important things in life. The "big picture" is huge & hopefully little by little they will start seeing beyond their "first world problem" & realize what's truly important.
For me, I have to be ever so careful to not kill their personalities & creativity but gently guide them to a different perspective on life & what matters most. They will only get it if we take the time to teach it daily, hourly, & with my 4 boys it seems like each minute. I have to be on my game but is it worth it ???- Hell Yeah!
