Fighting To Be The Boss

Yesterday at dinner, Bobby didn't want to eat his grilled cheese sandwich that was on his plate.  Sometimes he eats grilled cheese with no problem, sometimes he won't touch it.  I was determined to show him who was boss.  "No chips, no crackers, no snacks!!  Eat your sandwich, you are not getting anything else."  He didn't get upset.  A couple of times he tried to get me to get him some cheese doodles.  "NO, eat your sandwich!!!"  Zoi finally got tired of seeing it sitting on the table and jumped up and ate the cold, rubbery sandwich.

Bobby wasn't fussy all evening, but did want to go to bed around 8. I made him stay up until 9 since he has been waking around 5:30 instead of his normal 6:30-7:30 because of the time change.  At 9:00, he ran up the stairs and got into bed and was fast asleep by 9:02.  Great!!

Well, at 2 am, Bobby woke up.  He stayed in bed, but he was awake.  At 2:30, he announced "hungee."  Awesome, he is showing me who's the boss!!!  If he can't have what he wants for dinner, no sleep for Mommy!!  He stayed awake the rest of the night.  I showed him, he went to school today.  He also went to Occupational Therapy and at 5:30 Kathleen is coming over for ABA.  Hope he doesn't take it out on her and show her who's boss!!  Good thing that there is no school tomorrow.  I have a feeling that we will be ready for bed the second Kathleen walks out the door.
