<\/a><\/p>\n…because for Emrick, it was Opposite Day. Do the opposite of what Mommy is encouraging. DO throw a tantrum next to the pantry. DO pour your milk on the floor. DO be malcontent even when Mommy is trying so hard to comfort and appease you. So that’s pretty much what most of that day was like:<\/p>\n
Emrick recently learned that tortured body-flinging should always be done on the carpet, and never on the tile.<\/p><\/div>\n WTH? I just spent 2 minutes rolling around on the floor, and I STILL don't have a cookie\/cellphone\/firearm?<\/p><\/div>\n I always look forward to Marcus getting home from work, but on days like this, the last couple of hours before he gets home can really drag. Some days, Emrick and I have such a good, easy time that when Marcus comes home, I think “Already? Cool!” But on Emrick’s moody days I’m clockwatching by 2 PM. Sometimes when Emrick is cranky, it doesn’t necessarily get any better when Marcus gets home, but other times, Pookie’s crankiness seems to vanish at the sound of Marcus walking in through the mudroom door. Fortunately, on Happy Camper Day, Daddy’s arrival home was just what Pookie needed!<\/p>\n Even Daddy's laptop needs to be crawled on and cuddled.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
