STUBBORN

Grant. Sigh.

I'm not sure where this child came from. From the moment he entered the world I have referred to him as my force of nature. And he continues to live up to this reference.

Tonight in the bath, he began using different cups to fill up water, gulp it, then spit it out at Aid. The first time me and Aid both giggled and then asked him to stop.

Do you think he stopped?

His spitting of water only got more intense and he yelled "NO!" back at me when I repeatedly asked him to stop. So then I began taking the cup that he was using away from him and out of the bathtub. This technique has always been effective with Aid and will make him lose his mind.

Do you think Grant cared?

Nope. He calmly looked for another cup. I took it away. He found another. Took it away. He began using toys that could hold a small amount of water. Took them away. I basically removed every single toy that could hold water.

Do you think this stopped him?

Grant looked at me, gave me this little coy little smile and put his head down into the water. He came up with a mouth full of water....

and spit it at me.

I couldn't help but giggle as I pulled him out of the bath. Stinker.
