Craft Time

I am going to try to do craft time with Jackson every once in a while. Just to give him some Mommy and Me time where he gets my undivided attention for a while. Today, I gave him crayons to color while I fed Reagan and then planned to do crafts with him when I was done. He colored for 5 minutes and threw the crayons on the floor for the next 15 minutes. That was fine, he could pick them up when I was done, then we could have fun. Wrong!! Today, he decided he did not want to pick up his crayons. 45 MINUTES LATER, after 6 spankings, much wailing, a call to daddy, and time in bed, he said "okay mommy" and happily picked them up. Someday, I will figure out what makes him tick. So then we got to have fun with scissors, glue, and construction paper. Hopefully next time we get to go straight for the fun stuff.
