DVD Policies

Lately, Lil Sippy Cup and I have been having a disagreement over the proper way he should store his DVD collection.

I think he should take out only the one movie he plans to watch and then neatly return it to its case once he has finished watching it.

He, on the other hand, feels it is much easier and more practical to take out every single DVD in his collection and then leave the entire messy pile on the floor for an underling to rearrange at a later time.

Me: "Ok, remember what I said, one movie at a time."

Lil Sippy Cup: "Sure."

Me: "And, remember, you return it to the case and then return the case to your bookshelf when you're done."

Lil Sippy Cup: "Yep."

Me: "Just like a library."

Lil Sippy Cup: "Just like a library."

Ten minutes later, Lil Sippy Cup enters the living room carrying at least two-thirds of his DVD collection.

Me: "Uhm, didn't we agree on one DVD at a time?"

Lil Sippy Cup: "You said it was like the library."

Me: "Exactly!"

Lil Sippy Cup: "Well, we take out more than one book when we go to the library!"

We All Scream

How do you make a 3 year-old happy on a really hot summer evening?

It's simple really.

You take him here...

...and then help him turn this...

...into this.

Yep.  I'm awesome.

What I Learned Today (14)

Today, I learned two very important things:

(1) it is nearly impossible to have a functioning conversation with your 3 year-old son when he is wearing the following on his head

and

(2) it is unbelievably dangerous for fully grown adult males to attempt to put one of these on their own absurdly sized skulls.

Way Too Early

Me: "Little dude, time for breakfast.  Do you want some cereal?"

Lil Sippy Cup: "I want five!"

Me: "Ok, it is definitely too early to start confusing me."

Lil Sippy Cup: "Yes."

Me: "Yes, you want the cereal?"

Lil Sippy Cup: "Twelve!"

Me: "Just say yes or no please."

Lil Sippy Cup: "Yes or no please."

Me: "Yes or no."

Lil Sippy Cup: "Yes or no."

Me: "You win."

Lil Sippy Cup: "I win!"

Evidence

Remember this post?

Here's the proof.

Please lower the volume on your computer speakers, my dear readers, as Lil Sippy Cup was rather animated during the recording session.
