Definitely not MY child...



So, I've decided to participate in a weekly series called Not Me! Mondays created by MckMama (see her blog here). This week's installation is a slight deviation from the original theme called Not my child! Monday where we share embarrassing, funny, and brutally honest stories about things that we or our child(ren) definitely do NOT do... ;) So here goes nothing...

It was most definitely not my sweet and darling 19 month old who, not once but TWICE, managed to strip himself of his poopy diaper during nap time at daycare and proceed to smear the contents all over the wall, playpen, and himself. Nor would he rub it all over in his hair. No, not my toddler. And he surely didn't fling it all over his daycare provider's blinds and computer screen either...

It also was not my cute little boy who got so mad at mommy for trying to feed him macaroni and cheese because he wanted to do it himself that he forcefully grabbed the full bowl and chucked it across the floor. There's no way he then got so mad that he slammed his face into the couch and screamed for 5 minutes straight.

Oh, and my son also definitely does not like to color all over the bathroom floor with his Crayola crayons...or eat them (along with the tips of the non-toxic markers). Nope, not my kid at all.
