Or Oliver’s Parents!
So last night my daughter-in-law posted this picture on Facebook along with this status:
He’s mad because we took away the time out bench (because he was climbing and standing on it) … Ticket for 1 to meltdown city
My wife’s response was: aww he is heartbroken!
My smarty-pants daughter’s response was: Like this!!
Affirmative: was the response from my daughter in law
Anyway,my wife always says that with Oliver everything is either a comedy or a tragedy I guess this is an example of the tragedy, eh? Let me tell you though it must be tough to be with Oliver 24/7. While you love him to pieces and his smile and personality can light up a room like few children I’ve been around, his nonstop motor and shall we dare say bullheadedness, especially when you are winding down, can be exasperating to say the least.
Last week, he was tired at around 3 o’clock,(not as tired as granddad) but tired for Oliver, so we laid down on the couch with the Baby Einstein Lullaby playing on the tablet. One of us kept dozing on and off, bet you can’t guess which one! Anyway, after about 15 minutes or so, up popped Oliver and he was good to go for another hour plus!! Let me tell you if he had given me a hard time about that bench it may have been out on the porch and I would have been sending a picture like the above to Oliver’s Grammie. To which, her reply would have been: – mean Granddad!! My response: walk in my moccasins oh wise one! Luckily for Oliver and me, he was pretty good for the rest of the afternoon and finally did go to sleep around 4:50 after I caught him on the couch heading for the lamp, and MADE him rock on my shoulder!!
And you know what I miss him to pieces this week!!
