Searching for some common sense.
Cole Powers
Not what I signed up for
Nov 12th
When I signed on for cheap child labor, I mean…uh…parenting…I was expecting so much more. I gave Cole the simple task of tearing down our old front stoop and putting in a new one. It took him almost two months — and to me this is just disappointing. He is almost 2 years old…he should be doing so much better.
Kids today. Harumph.

We put on Cole’s blue hat and round him around the yard around sunset and told him it was erasing the blue sky and that’s how it turned into night.
I thought he was trying to get close with me when I realized he was rubbing his hat up and down the side of my head.
Guess who?

Cole figured out what Halloween was all about and decided he didn’t want to be a giraffe.
He walked around the house for the better part of 8 hours with his hand up to his ear and babbled away. I didn’t get it at first, even though it was quite obvious. Who else could possibly sit on the phone for over 8 hours?
I think I even saw him use call waiting…
Gee, sorry, he likes Halloween

I didn’t think it was such a big deal asking the pediatrician if there was anything we could do to elongate his neck for the costume.
We can easily find a new pediatrician. It’s not like this was the first time we were ever kicked out of a practice.
He overreacted
Oct 25th
We have been telling Cole – “Step on a crack and break your mother’s back” for a little over six months seeing if he would catch on. So, this time, we went outside and when he stepped on the crack, Jamie fell down in front of him and started screaming at the top of her lungs.
He was still standing like this even after the neighbors and cops left. I am afraid at this point that he has no sense of humor at all.

I guess putting your kid in the recycling bin and leaving him out on recycling day requires a visit from the police. Who knew?
At least he saw the humor.
