Yesterday when picking up Micah from school I asked his teacher how he did for the day and she told me that he had a rough day. She went on to say that he was pushing, spitting and not listening, which is not normal for him, but he's 3 and he likes to test his limits every few months, apparently he was due. This was our conversation in the car...
Me: How was school today buddy? Did you have a good day?
Micah: Yep, I was a GREAT listener, can I watch the Dragon movie? (How to train your Dragon)
Me: Ms. Kaylyn says you weren't a very good listener today and that you pushed some of your friends and that you were spitting?
Micah: MOM.... I didn't do ANY of those things (as he's shaking his head in disbelief that she would even fathom that he would do such a thing...and shaking his finger)
Me: Really? Are you sure? Did you maybe do those things just a little bit? (squeezing my index finger and thumb together to make a small gesture)?
Micah: Mom, maybe I did those things juuuuuust a little bit.
Me: Micah, you know that we don't do those things, there will be no toys or TV for you until you can be a better listener, do you understand?
Micah: Ok mom no toys or TV, but how about 1 toy and I can watch the news with you right?
Me: Micah, NO TOYS, NO TV... and the news is TV so you can't watch the news with me.
Micah: Ughh ok no news either (with a saddened doomed look on his face filled with shame)
This kid cracks me up... He actually likes the news. I'll keep ya posted on his behavior ;)
