Minutes & Plans

Hayes was not bad tonight but I was impatient and he was driving me crazy!

On the way to go eat at Panda Express he wanted to know how long it would take to get there. I said a few minutes but he wanted an exact number so I told him three. He knows he has to count to 60 for each minute so he counted to 60 three times and we weren't quite there, that bugged him.

I told him we were going to go to two stores but we ended up going to three. He wasn't mentally prepared for three stores so he wasn't happy about that. The second store he asked how long I'd be and started counting. The last store was the grocery store and he knew we were going to get ice cream. As we pulled up he was telling me the plan out loud. We are going in, getting ice cream and going home. I informed him we getting a few more things than just ice cream. He wanted to know the exact amount. I started listing what we were getting then thought to myself, why am I doing this?!

Then when we got home he wanted to know exactly how many minutes it would take me to feed Lyla a bottle.

That kid and his plans. Bracken got home after they were all in bed and I was telling him how impatient I was with Hayes and his rules and plans. Bracken told me I had full disclosure to this kind of thing when I married him, and Hayes is just brushing up on his deposition skills. Most mom's just get a lot of WHYS?? I get deposed?! Starting this early I guess he'll make a good lawyer...
