Addison likes to jump on the sofa. No matter how many times I try to stop her, she just
never stops. I am afraid that she is going to fall down and get hurt (she has suffered one concussion- quite enough for this mama). So now, to avoid that, I yell & scream to make her stop.
(We, including my neighbors, all know how well I yell)
This morning, as soon as she woke up, she ran over and pounced onto the sofa. She asked for her morning chocolate milk and requested I put on her Moose & Zee music videos (a DVD collection, daddy made, of her favorite Nick Jr. and Disney channel music videos). I happily obliged, looking forward to so quiet time while the kiddos drank their milk and watched a little TV. While in the kitchen, responding to the chocolate mile request, I hear laughing.
A lot of laughing… followed by squealing. This much excitement can only mean one thing…
Seeing her, Jackson started doing the same. I told them to stop but nope, they continued. I tried to distract them but it didn’t work either. Then I yelled. Jackson stopped but she kept laughing & jumping. I screamed
“Addison stop jumping on the goddamn sofa NOW!” Yes, one of those proud parenting moments.
She laughed (apparently I am funny when I yell or I do it so often it is just pointless) and jumped landing on her butt, smiled at me and continued watching her video.
I head back into the kitchen to grab their sippy cups of milk (chocolate for Addison) and a bowl of grapes. Should I have been at all surprised when I came out to find this…
