Last Week

This has been a very weird 7 days.  Scott was gone for 2 nights. Colin was very grumpy (grandparent withdrawal I guess) even though we did lots of fun things: pool, wildlife park, and a park playtime.  Once Scott got home it got a little better.  Then all of a sudden Sat. night C no longer has much use for me.  He tells me to "go away" and such--but not really in a mean way.  He wants daddy to put him down for naps and bedtime (this never happens).  Today he was stuck w/me, so it seemed better, but he threw an absolute fit to go down for a nap (also unusual unless he's fallen asleep in the car).  Not sure what is going on in his little head. 

Sat. we fixed up his "castle." I meant to take some before pics, but forgot.  We are almost finished--we need a little bit more gravel and Scott needs to adjust the monocular (I know this isn't the right word, but I can't remember what a pirate's scope is called).  He now has a slide, a wheel, a scope, and a cleaned out tree house/playhouse area to go along w/his dirt box (now a gravel box).  He was very excited.  Once dinner came, C was very whiny.  He didn't want to eat what we were eating and a ton of other things.  He did eat eventually after a lot of fighting and disagreeing.  Then we were going to make smores. More unclear whining ensued.  He almost had to go to bed right then and there.  Finally he calmed down enough to make the smores. 

Do you see a problem w/his smore?  We didn't let it go in the oven this way.

Momma horse and spot needed in on the action evidently. (sorry, he's not good at naming things)

Finally a happy boy.  He ate two whole smores and then took a bath (I had to clean the horses as well), and was good the rest of the night.

Yesterday was good except that he woke up at 5:30 in the morning.  What is up with this kid?
