The first is bedtime. Can I hear an Amen.
The second is getting Alex dressed. It's not so much a lazy thing as it is a power thing with him.
There is always some kind of stall tactic,i.e. "I can't get my shirts down" (that's a popular one), or "I have to go to the bathroom", or "Lily just walked outside" (thanks for leaving the door open). In any case, it is a major issue that we have every day, and today was no exception. So after he'd been in his room for a while and I asked, fulitly, once again if he was dressed, he shouted, "just a minute", and I have to admit I was hopeful until he came out like this. Shorts on his head, shirt on his legs. It was hilarity personified.
Thanks for making me laugh, buddy.

Maxine stalls when getting dressed too. There's always something she needs to do first. We haven't missed the bus for school yet but I know it's coming.
Bedtime. As I read this Matthew is screaming outside my bedroom. He has to sit there (not lay down or even suck his thumb:( until he's done crying and is willing to go lay down on his bed nicely. And not get out again. . .and again. It is sooo sad. He screams, "Hug me!!" Wish me luck!!
I just had to add--I just want to eat the chocolate I have stashed 10 feet from me. . .
He continues to scream, "Hug me, Mommy!!!!"
. . . . .
