Oh the things kids say ... sigh

  My happy happy child Zach has become very grumpy in his 3rd year of life.  I am just waiting and hoping I will see my happy go lucky child emerge again soon.  Until then ... I will continue to tell him not to tell other kids his age that they are not his friends and that he doesn't like them.  and will continue to tell him not to "hate" everything.  We were at Spencer's sisters house the other day and I could not get Zach to stop telling her that he hated it there.  (If only I had a sock ... I would have shoved it completely in his mouth)  Then at church yesterday he was not happy that his normal teacher was not there and that he had a new teacher.  It took a lot of work for us to get him to sit with his class. We finally told him that he needed to guard the suckers so the other kids wouldn't steal them.  Then when I took him to class he kept insisting that he didn't like his new teacher and so I told him that he was a nice guy just like his other one ... to that he replied "But Mommy, I don't like his voice or his face"  My own face went about 20 shades of red at that point and I just started laughing.  His teacher was very gracious and told me not to worry ... he get's that a lot.  lol!
