Tiny Talk Tuesday

We only have 1 car. We happened to have it today - without having to wake up early to take Roger to work. So with no real place to go, but a car to go with... we bundled up to find something to do. Driving along I asked Joseph where he would like to go. "Hmm, Nehemiah likes Lego's he would probably like to go to the Lego store" Awww, how sweet of you to think of your brother, but um that would be you that likes the Lego store.

We stopped by a Re-Uzit shop today. The kids normally like going. Yeah, not this time. Nehemiah was crabby to say the least. So... after literally dragging him out of the store (why didn't I bring the stroller!?) and getting him into the car I spanked him for his behavior along with a little talking to that I'm sure he didn't listen to a word of. He started yelling "Help! Help!" ..........
.......so we left the Re-uzit shop and headed off to Roger's work. We were early for picking him up but sometimes the kids like to hang out at his office. Immediately after we walked through the door I realized that this was not going to work. (Ok, I'm a slow learner. Why I thought Nehemiah was going to behave is beyond me. His track record for the day was pretty bad) After dragging Hannah away from the printer (she knows how to push the button to make it print test pages!) and Nehemiah away from the stapler, paper clips, glue...... we made it back out to the car. Nehemiah apparently didn't like this deal. He started yelling "Help! Help! Daddy! Help me!" I couldn't help but laugh. He was yelling it but it didn't sound like a desperate cry for help it was more of a pitiful "woe is me" yell. I don't think I ever even heard him say the word "help" before today. Lucky me, twice in one day I get to here his verbal skills improve.
