Parker's morning

In trying to understand my son's newest behavior antics, I have tried putting myself in his shoes. I have recreated Parker's morning for you - from his point of view. Here we go:

"It's mom! I definately heard her open the closet door"

- stands up -

"Mom, come get me! Mom, come here! Mom, I'm up! Where are you going? Come get me first WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH"

- starts to cry like leaving him in his crib is something I do routinely -

"Oh good! You're back! Hi! Your hair looks fantastic! I need to pull it! No? Ok, well let me stick my finger in your mouth and check out how your teeth are doing. No? What's your idea for something to do? Nooo I don't waaaaannnaa change my diaper!"

"Let me have that destin cream. And I want some wipes, give me the wipes. Look! I found the nail clippers you were looking for last night! Give that back I was playing with it! Ok I'm done doing this. Let's get up and play. Let me stand up!!! Move your hands and let me get up! I don't want to wear those pants. And I don't want to wear that shirt. I would like to eat these shoes though, these are great! Give them back!"

- Moves out to the living room to get our coats. Jon, unfortunately for him, is in bed and trying to sleep still -

"DAD! Mom, it's Dad! Hi Dad! Look, see how close I am to your face! Where do these two holes in your nose go to, let feel in there for just a sec... no? Ok, Well, I'm just going to climb over here and LOOK! IT'S THE LAP TOP!!!!!!!!! This is terrific because I have been trying to get my hands on that for weeks now and here it is! Right in front of me - NOOOO I was playing with that! You've got to be kidding me!! I dont wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnaaaaaaa put my coat on!!! Bye Dad!"

- at work -

"Look! It's that dog Red Fred! Come here Red Fred, let me take a look in your ears for a minute! Man, I just love this dog! Mom! Look how his hair just comes out when I pull it! No? Ok, hey hey hey, it's the remote! Let me just push this button here and HOT DOG! Look at these channels changing now! No? Well, I see that you have left the cable box uncovered so you know I'm just going to go over there and push those buttons. What? Am I not supposed to be playing with this?"

"Stephan is up! Let me just turn my back so mom can't see me do THIS! HA HA HA This cracks me up! What a baby, a little tug on the hair and he crumbles. No? What? What are you doing? No, don't hold me down. OH MY GOSH I'LL NEVER MOVE AGAIN!! HEART PALPATATIONS MOM!! I CAN FEEL MY HEART BEAT! I'M PANICING NOW. I CAN'T MOVE! Whew! Ok that was scary. Where did Stephan go? Double or nothin' he cries again!"

"Breakfast time! Oh I love waffles. But this piece can go on the floor. Not this one. This one can. Not this one. This one. Oh this one can go in Stephan's hair and while I'm there you know I have to pull it again. Ha ha ha. This is great! No?"

"I'm getting tired. Mom, I'm getting tired. Hello??? Well what if I scream and roll around on the floor for a bit. Now do you see that I am tired!? Wait, oh yeah, I need to go to the bathroom first. Oh and my teeth hurt so I would love some of that stuff that makes me not feel my face. Great! Thanks. Well done. Ok - to bed!! Whew, I'm beat. "
