Tears because his legos aren't fun.
Tears because he played with his cars yesterday.
Tears because he doesn't want to color.
So I said to him, "Well if you don't like your toys that much, I am going to call Santa and tell him he doesn't need to bring you any toys this year because you don't like them."
Tears again.
"But I do want new toys for Christmas!"
So I say, "Then show me you enjoy playing with them!"
It didn't work.
Should I resort to TV to get my work done? I really don't like resorting to the TV.
I decide to compromise.
"If you go play with your toys for a half hour you can watch TV for a half hour." I said.
So he comes in my room 2 minutes later and says, "Look, I made this yesterday." as he holds up a lego car.
Seriously. I don't want to know what he did yesterday! I want him to play with his toys today!
Why didn't I send him to preschool this year again?
