Where has this sweet boy gone?

This face looks so deceiving but inside that little boy there is a plan brewing. The plan consists of making everyday tasks as difficult as possible for his mama and papa!! I wish i could take pictures of our bedtime routine but we dont have one anymore. He moved to a toddler bed a few weeks ago and all since of routine has gone out the window with the crib. He hates to go to bed, kicks screams, and will make himself hyperventilate to get his way. He sleeps in his school shirt because he hates to change clothes and I hoose to fight that battle only once a day. We wake up early and sneak in his room and slide on his school shorts and if we are lucky we can change hisdiaper too before he realizes that he should be fighting us. The task might not be as bad except that Kinson feels the need to sleep in SHOES everynight! Dont ask us why but again we pick and choose our battles. If you can just imagine what he looks like at night....school shirt, diaper, and red lighting mcqueen crocs!! I am going to try and get a picture.

Today though our little man had to go back to the dr with strep for the third time this year. Last year it was pneumonia and bronchitis and this year strep, I hate that he has to be sick but this year was much easier. But as bad as he is at home, he sure can charm the ladies. He was a complete angel with the nurses letting them weigh him, take temp, and even listen to his chest.....he normally goes ape crazy after his traumatic experiences. He did great until they checked his ears and he screamed and told the dr "You hurt my ears, make it feel better!" He is riding around with Bear hoping that at any moment he will fall asleep so we can forgo the kicking and screaming tonight in exchange for an early night that is sure to be shortened when he awakens feeling puny and crawling in our bed!
