excuses....excuses....

There are a ton of them and boy is my 4 year old full of them lately. "My leg hurts", "I don't feel good", "I'm tired", "I have a headache" (my personal fav) you name it, he can prolly come up with it! And while there may be times one of these is true, having to hear it ALL the time - I just don't buy it. Who knew this started at such a young age? And at times it's for sure not easy to deal with. Tyler will use these over and over to get out of cleaning up, dinner, and at times even bath time (which he LOVES!) But in hopes that "this too shall pass" I just continue to acknowledge how he is "feeling", then be quick to change the subject and pray that it work. There are times that are harder than others, I just keep hoping this is just another one of "those phases" people always tell you about.
