My Crazy Child Sebastian

I am sitting here listening to my 5 month old Eli yell (not cry) at me to just look at him. He is in the need interaction at all times phase. Love hate thing I think. Today though is not about Eli as much as it is about Sebastian. He is one dense crazy little dude. I feel like I am yelling at him all the time because he suffers from the in one ear out the other syndrome. I have resorted to taking every possible thing away from him. Toys, TV, iPad, Dino, and friends... Still I struggle. Verity was easy because she had a currency. It was the end of the world to lose an item. Well with Seb.... he really could care less. As I am packing away his toys he makes a point of helping and reminding me of where other toys are that aren't in the immediate area. "Mom don't forget to take away my hot wheels toys that are in the bath tub. I think the garbage man will really like those..." Seriously!! I was driving down the freeway with him the other day and he is reaching over dangerously trying to shove Eli's soother in his mouth. I say, "Sebastian honey, don't do that because it is dangerous. It's ok for Eli to cry." Seb, "Mom... It's too late. I'm doing it because Eli is irritating me." Couldn't believe it. Made me giggle. I have turned into the Mom that has the child 10 ft behind her while walking through the grocery store because he won't keep up. I hated parents like that when I was kidless. He is just so bloody slow and distracted by every little thing. I love that he is so inquisitive but he is impossible!! We were leaving Superstore yesterday and he asked me if it cost $1000 bucks. I said no not quite and told him it was about $300. He was like... " Oh that's cheap!" I said "No Seb that is still quite a bit of money." Very matter of factly Sebastian tells me: "Mom you should shop at Wal-Mart because it's WAAAAAYYYYY cheaper there. The TV said so" All the customers in Superstore got a good chuckle out of that one. Every day is a new adventure with him. I love him to pieces!
