Valentines Party at Preschool

Ramsey's little class of cuties had a small Valentines party yesterday. I wasn't in charge of the party but went anyway just because Ramsey asked me if I would come. I love that I have created a job that is soooo flexible. I love to see Ramsey interact with his classmates. It was a cute little party with cookies, cheetos, grapes, and cheezits. I love to watch all the kiddos mainly because it gives me renewed faith in Ramsey. I mean some of those kids are wild! The teachers try bless their hearts but man I couldn't do it. In fact two little boys started to actually fight and Ramsey got in their face and yelled "cooperate!" This is his latest new word his Nama taught him. Then we got a valentine from each of his buddies and more candy too!

This little table is only 1/2 of the class. There is a whole other table of little boys too.

My Valentines

I have the two best Valentines in the world, but then again I know I'm partial. I got these beautiful flowers at our door on Friday and then Saturday night Cope took me to Sal Grosso, a Brazilian steak place for perfect date. I love the man that he is and am so thankful he loves me. Then I had this adorable card in my email this morning. My Mom helped Ramsey create it:

Happy Valentines Day to you all. Cheesy holiday or not I still dig it!

Need Some Advice!

So Ramsey just turned 3 and each stage is for sure my favorite. I love the newness of each stage but this one has brought with it NEGOTIATIONS. Meaning Ramsey wants to negotiate EVERYTHING. If I tell him he can have 2 Starburst he wants 3. If I tell him it is time to go to bed and not call me anymore he will find the one thing that can get me back up there(like mommy i need to poop,even if he doesn't). If I tell him it is time to leave for school he says "Just a few more minutes" of Mickey Clubhouse. I feel like he wants to negotiate 100 times a day, oh wait he does. Now I am not a weak person but part of me wants to explain why in the situation and the other part of me wants to say "because I said so". Any advice on what approach has worked for you guys? Is it just the stage? Don't get me wrong I love that my child's brain is constantly churning but should I battle with my 3 year old? Oh, and what is a post without pictures. Here ya go:

Lessons From Ramsey

This morning, like most mornings getting out the door on time is near impossible. I am usually in a crazy hurry and Ramsey isn't cooperating as much as I would like. This morning he was acting a little more naughty then normal so when we FINALLY got in the car he said "mommy, can I have my juice" to which I replied "Nope, if we act naughty we don't get what we want". He thought for a minute and instead of apologizing said "Mommy, you should be nice to your child".

Thanks buddy, I'll keep that one in mind.
