Well, just another day in the life of a mother with 5 animals--I mean, kids. School is just about a week away for pretty much everyone--except the 2yr old. Boy is she sick of everybody. She's the youngest and gets no respect it seems, but she can take names, and whatever else she can when it comes to her 4 older siblings. Today my 10yr old autistic son was banging his hand on a plastic toy bin and my 2yr old kept coming to me in the kitchen saying, "mommy patrick won't stop, will you tell him stop?"...so I said, "Patrick, stop making that noise".I was trying to wash the dishes and so then my 2yr old went back in the living room and started plugging her ears, and going, "la, la, la, nah, nah, I can't hear you..blah,blah,blah,". He finally stopped banging his hand on the toy bin.
