I've even considered that the boys are deaf. Yet they prove that wrong when you're talking quietly to someone else, hoping they won't hear it, and repeat it right back at you. And maybe they just hear what they're not supposed to? Either way, C and R are hard of listening.
I really don't like to nag (although my wonderful husband says I'm quite good at it... ahahahaha...thanks), but after telling the boys over and over and OVER again, to complete a seemingly easy task, without success of completion, I'm definitely coming off as nagging.
I know they have attention spans of goldfish (which they inherited from their Mama ;) ), and I've even attempted to get them to "help" by making certain tedious activities into a game. I just get the look of "Yea, RIGHT!", and the little monkey's continue on whatever it was they were doing.
Also, my repetitious nattering occurs when I insist that C and R DON'T do something, just for the sake of their safety. Again, they are off to the races, with a greater determination just to achieve what was spoken against. Is it just because I told them not to do it, is why they want to so bad? Would it be better to let them get bored of their "death defying act" first, as it would seem quicker? lol. The more I say no, the MORE they want to do it. I'm starting to look for grey hairs. :P
But then, another day will pass, and my "Angels" will return, and be Mommy's little helpers. For a little bit. :)
