he is so.....

I'd like to say that Jonas is so... 3... being as how his birthday was yesterday. But, Gareth was not quite like this. We have so many conversations like this.

Me: Jonas, put your shoes in your bin.
J: But me like my shoes out of my bin.

or

Me: Jonas, you have to get good sleep so you can get well and not be sick.
J: But me like to be sick.

or

Me: Jonas, you have to brush your teeth to get the sugar bugs off (note: sugar bugs are the dentist's term).
J: But me want sugar bugs on.

or

Me: Jonas, you have to take a bath to get clean.
J: But me like to be dirty.

or

Me: Jonas, you have to do anything at all
J: But me not want to do anything at all ever.

Constantly!!! I can't take it. I am going to go insane. Wait, I think I already am. Really and honestly, I do not know how to deal with this.

1) He has learned how to push your buttons at an early age. I'll bet if you don't react at all to all his negativity he will loose interest and move on to something new...of course the something new will probably make you even more crazed...Ha Ha... Hang in there.

2) Hang in there. This too shall pass. Some days seem so long but when you look back it seems like an instant. Try to enjoy them while you still have them!

3) I have an almost three-year-old little boy, and he tries to play this game, too. Super Nanny helped me. I mean, it isn't 100% perfect, but we're getting there. Good luck!

5) Funny... my husband says the same thing about him learning to push my buttons. However, there are some things I can't ignore. And some things I don't want to. For instance, every time we come home, every person is supposed to put their shoes in their bin in the coat closet. Jonas knows this. But every time he resists, in a big way. I suppose I could let it go, but I feel like if I let that go, then something else will go, and we'll spiral into a no rules household. I don't know how to let some things go and not others. I mean, yes, some things I can let go. But not everything. And he fights me on *everything*. EVERYTHING!

I've never seen super nanny. Is that that show?
