i'm thinking CPS should be notified :)

with a title like that i'm sure you are wondering the story behind it. 

My son.....what can I say about Koren. Well he's an extremely clever, unique, creative, outgoing, smart, active little boy. He's also bossy, manipulative, sassy, and defiant. I know that most of those traits are common for two year olds, but today was a day of pushing me to THE LIMIT! It all started off just fine, we slept in, had some breakie, and played hard at open play gym. After play gym we went to the YMCA so I could workout and he played great in the daycare area. Then we met Justin for lunch & we proceeded to enjoy a nice and calm lunch. THEN... out of nowhere he bolts down the stairs at Jeepers and runs RIGHT OUT THE FRONT DOOR (yes, like right next to one of the busiest streets in town). I quickly drop everything i'm holding, chase after him, yank him from behind and drag his butt into the car for a very harsh scolding. He smiles...ahhhhh I think the best part of that was that he did all this right in front of a group of child social workers having a lunch meeting. ha. they should have taken him away right then. So, we get home and I say that it's naptime, he says plainly NO. ok, one cartoon then naptime. Well 4 cartoons later (2 hours) still no nap, he has become even more sassy and tells me that I NEED A TIMEOUT! Wait a minute, he did not just say what I think he said...ah ok so I resort to a form of punishment that I have practiced once before and I feel like if I do it again I really need to call for help. I stuck him in his carseat, in the car, with the lights out in the garage. I left him there for ten minutes! I just couldn't look at him. But the worst part of all, when I went out to talk with him about his behavior all he did was look up at me with his big brown eyes and say, " i'm sorry mommy i no be a naughty boy anymore, i be a goodboy." GUILT- that's what I felt next. I guess this is just life with a two year old right????
