Cute Quotes

I have finally joined the land of the living and got a smartphone.  I have this game that I play quite frequently. It is hill climb, a racing type of game.  Well the smaller boy says to me today, whilst watching me play, "Mom, I know that you can get an airplane on this game [you can't].  Don't you want to know how I know that?"
"Sure, how?"
"Well when I was in your belly [I didn't even have a cell phone then, no less that particular game], I had X-ray vision and I saw through your belly that you could get a plane."

Also this same smaller boy and smallest boy bicker quite frequently.  There was some banter back and forth and smaller boy started whining about it.  I told him to just IGNORE smallest boy.  He then proceeded to loudly make some annoying noise at recurring intervals.  He just wouldn't stop.

Not only did I start to get sick of it, but so did smallest boy.  So he kept asking him to stop.  No in reality he kept screaming his head off to just be quiet.  I continued to talk to smallest boy and told him that maybe he should ask nicely.  He then asked nicely, all to no avail. I asked nicely. Smaller boy just kept on going.

Finally I had had quite enough of that.  I finally said in a huff, "Just stop it!"
To which he replied, "But mom, you told me to just ANNOY him" [referring to smallest boy].  Ha ha ha.  So he had misheard and thought he was following my instructions all along (and was doing a fantastic job of it I might add).

We are still hanging in here.  I have just started the boy on ADHD medication.  I really did not want to medicate, but it was becoming worse and worse.  Natural stuff was not helping (enough).  I do have hope that he can go off the medication in the future, but for now he needs to calm down and notice a difference so that he can learn to control himself and focus.

We have known that he has ADHD for a few years now.  But up until this point it hasn't really been affecting his grades.  He was JUST. SO. HYPER!  And loud.  And that was okay with me.  But I knew we had to do something when grades started coming down.  Other than that, things are the same kind of crazy here.  Thanks for checking.

Peace Out
