We are very blessed to have our family within 20 miles of us. It is such a blessing not only for us but most of all for our kids. They are able to see their grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins on a regular basis. It has also been a huge blessing in the fact that it allows me to work part time and not have to worry about finding a child care facility. My wonderful mother (after having to twist her arm, haha) watches lil man from 9:30-2p everyday while I work and now that it is summer she gets to have the girls around too.
This last May my mom had to have some surgery where she was unable to watch lil man by herself for 6 wks. So, some of our family came to the rescue. My best friend (sis in law) and my grami and sis were able to jump right in and take care of the lil man. It was such a huge blessing and both my hubby and I are so appreciative of the help.
Today was the last day of the 6 wks for my sis in law before they left town for the weekend. When I went to pick up the lil man she had a story of my lil man that reassures me he is just like his father....stubborn.
My sis in law had been telling lil man to not touch their phone answering machine. He of course kept going over to it and touching it. So, like a good aunt she would kindly tell him no, no and move him away. But to no avail our lil man would end up right back by the machine. This particular time lil man had made his way over to the machine and as he got to it he looked back at his aunt. She again told him no, no. He smiled his cute, heart melting smile and proceeded to the machine, looking back again. She told him no, no. He then touched the machine. My sis in law told him no, no and as she walked over to him he held up his hand ready for it to be slapped. She started laughing and of course since she isn't mommy she didn't slap it, but couldn't resist laughing at the stubborn lil guy.
That is how I know he is going to be trouble. "A slap on the hand, what's that mom?" Oh my what an exciting child he will be, but don't get me wrong I love him!!
**If you are against spanking or slapping that's fine but you don't need to share your opinions about it w/me. Do what is best for your family :) **

Oh honey I am sooooooo sorry. That does sound just like his daddy!! You are in for it for sure. The good news is...it will get better in about 20 years:) What a cute story. I know your sis-in-law has enjoyed every minute spent with lil man.
