defiance

I love Tommy! He is my special baby, that I needed after we lost Gabe. Having him made it a little easier to make it through that part of my life. But oh my gosh!!! This kid definetly keeps me on my toes! He is the only one of my boys to have multiple broken bones, emergency surgery, allergies that required ambulance rides to the hospital and so many other exciting adventures. He has gotten to be pretty defiant as a 3 year old. He refuses to use the toilet if you suggest it, but if it is his idea its the best ever! That is kindof how it goes with anything, if I suggest it, there is usually a major tantrum that goes along with him yelling no, but if it is his idea....he's a genius and its the best idea ever! He wears his pajama shirt all day because he likes the picture/design on it, he won't wear socks cause they hurt his feet, he has to run cause his shoes make him to fast. This week we were driving on 215 and he had his window down in the car. He had taken his shoes and socks off almost immediately once we started driving because that is what Tommy does. He had a hotwheel in his hand that he was putting out of the window playing with, I told him to keep it in the car because we don't want it to accidently fall out of the car, he brought it back in. Then he took his shoe and held it by the velcro strap and stuck it out the window... it flapped in the breeze long enough for me to tell him to put it back in the car before he dropped the velcro strap and lost his shoe!! I didn't go back for it, and he cried the rest of the trip. He can be such a sweet little boy sometimes, but man he can be a defiant little stinker!!
