Same old, same old

Rhea is in meltdown mode.
Not eating her dinner. 

Rhea: (waterworks) I DONT want sweet potato
Fiona: Rhea you have to eat it.
Rohan: watching rhea intently
Ryan:  watching rhea intently
Me: Right guys keep watching her, watch and learn

Rhea: Waterfall
Fiona: Rhea you have to eat your sweet potato
Rohan: I want to watch Dora on TV
Ryan: Cameron called me a baby today

Rhea: Back to waterworks
Fiona: Cameron called you a baby because instead of whining and crying you have to use your big boy words
Rohan: I want dora
Ryan: mumbles..big boy words

Rhea: Calming down now
Fiona:...All in a days work...
Rohan: I want Dora
Ryan: I want Dora

Tomorrow at work someone will ask me How my evening was, and I will reply "same old, same old'

Ryan has the "classic" youngest child syndrome :-)
He always thinks every one is out to get him.
And he scowls. A lot.
Fortunately Rohan and Ryan don't fight as much as they used to.
Perhaps once every 2 days, as opposed to once every hour when they were two.


Rohan on the other hand is Rhea's shepti (tail). He also adoooooress Rhea. Rhea is Rohan's 
God (ess). Every afternoon, when Fiona picks them up from day care, Rohan will ask her "Can we pick Rhea up too?" 
Fiona" No"
Rohan "Please ?" (starting to sniff now).
Ryan shows the first sign of a scowl...Here we go again


Fiona "Rohan, we can't just pick Rhea up anytime, she's in school now"
Rohan "But I want to take Rhea home"
Fiona "sorry Rohan, we can't do that"
Rohan Waterworks.
Ryan scowls. 

Two weeks now and its the same thing every day.
Both Fiona and I think its adorable how he wants Rhea to be home too, and I'd like to think that Ryan's feeling sorry for Rohan 
when he's scowling, but he's probably thinking "Dude, surely you can't be that dense. Tra la la la la"
