who's the REAL third grader in this picture?
dashiell HAD to roll matthew's backpack all the way home. then of course, i had to take it to carry it up the stairs. oh my goodness. he was SOOO MAD at me for that. matthew stayed down with him while i lugged the heavy bag up, and dashiell was BAWLING and sprawled on the floor below. i got back after putting all the stuff inside and he was still upset. he had to roll i t in the door, through the baby gate, and into matthew's room. but of course, i had to tell him that was enough so matthew could get his homework started. again, he was furious. the only thing that calmed him down?
me putting the backyardigans on tv and handing him his little roller backpack. which he held in his lap the whole entire time the backyardigans was on tv.
what a stinker.happy birthdaym, da-ee!
we went out to red robin for a quick birthday dinner, and then had cold stone sweet cream and cookie dough cake. yummy.
