I see Henry not the only one who loves to look at himself in the mirror when he is crying. Some of Henry's new favorite sayings now are "I don't like you" or "You is not my friend anymore!" or my favorite -- "WHATEVER!!"FEZ BEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267729597748838058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011975721848345175.post-79680604084186463812008-06-02T10:32:00.000-07:002008-06-02T10:32:00.000-07:00I don't think he's a spoiled jerk though. But yea...I don't think he's a spoiled jerk though. But yeah. Everything you said. Such a delicate balance between freedom and safety. Boundaries and lifeline. One of my TWoP friends emailed and said the tantrum video was hilarious in a way that only a non-parent could enjoy. So at least we're providing entertainment for the internets!belsumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943795389862466294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011975721848345175.post-70739078751115753352008-05-31T21:14:00.000-07:002008-05-31T21:14:00.000-07:00I heard that growing up too.

I would be the first adult ever to truly understand a child's point of view. Well I don't think I remember it all, and more importantly, I don't care. I've become the big mean adult overlord. When shopping is done, you can't keep playing in the store. End of story. Actually I may be a little more considerate. I do try to play along with him. Maybe if I was rich and didn't have to work I would indulge him constantly, but then he'd probably become a spoiled jerk.Chris Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001573607070437474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011975721848345175.post-52265208672834925272008-05-31T21:00:00.000-07:002008-05-31T21:00:00.000-07:00We adore children.

Anyone's child. <BR/><BR/>See, thing is, my mom put a curse on me when I was growing up. <BR/><BR/>While in tears, she would say things like. "You'll see, just wait till you have children of your own." <BR/><BR/>So there you have it. I can't have my OWN children. <BR/><BR/>I'll show her... <BR/><BR/>Did you present Kirkie the video of himself having a tantrum? You need to film THAT!<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>xosuperbadfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021303569879087260noreply@blogger.com
