Who REALLY needs a town cryer??

Posted in Children

Well I certanitly don't, but by golly the Lord has blessed me with one in CJ. My goodness I don't think I've seen a child this way. He's always been this way but it seems to be much worse the last year or so.

 

Every little thing that someone does, CJ feels the need to announce it to whomever is around. Seriously, the other night I was in the schoolroom on the computer and my husband was in the living room. Next thing I hear is CJ saying "Daddy's flicking the lamp off and on." I'm like and I needed to know that why?

 

I have no idea if this is some way he deals with any anxiety or just the simple fact that he thinks everyone really does care about everything he says. Ninety percent of what he announces, really we don't need to know, no do we really want to know.

 

Course there is also his greatness of, as you start a sentence to tell someone, CJ will suddenly finish it for you if you pause a second or sometimes not even. He knows he's not to be doing this because its rude and interruptive. I assume that's his way of being in the middle of everything. I think I might have mentioned this on here before, but I really don't get to have conversations with my mom or husband if CJ is around. AND you can't get him to go do something else. IF you tell him to go do whatever it is that he needs to be doing OR that he said he was going to do. He will sit there to listen to everything. Very frustrating, course if it really comes down to it then he stomps off to make a HUGE scene to let you know he's not happy about it and really makes his behavior look like that of a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

 

I really have no idea what my point of this post is, just struck me as I walked to the bathroom in the house only to have CJ announce to me that daddy had went outside and something about he took his pop with him. Strange really. I could see if I ASKED him but I don't because generally I already know.

 

That's another thing is CJ tells you things you already know OR that someone else already said, I don't know if he's repeating it to understand or if he just likes to then think he thought of it.....LOL. There are days when I'd just rather pull my hair out of my head but all in all I still have my hair on my head, don't notice any greys and well seem to be functioning as best I can even with a challenging child.

 

I often have those days of wondering just WHY the Lord blessed me with CJ. My luck its to give me better paitence, which aren't all that bad except when it comes to my child....LOL. Sad to say but boy some days I just need to walk away and get some alone time, and sometimes I can't get it because he will follow me or seems to have something important to talk about/ask me.

 

Ah well all in all everythings good even if I have a town cryer in my house!

About Me

Everyday ramblings about my family life, with my husband and son, on the farm. I'm Emily, mom to one son who I'll refer to as CJ. Married for 12 years been together almost 14 years. We live in North Central, Minnesota in the boonies. We are on our 4th year in Homeschooling and its been fun and a great descision. Sometimes my posts will relate to personal issues I'm dealing with while trying to give my son the best education I can. We've tried several things along this short journey of ours and hoping somethings will stay or we'll find things that work better soon.
