COULD IT BE??

That my child had his first real tantrum?  He loves, LOVES my phone.  Even over every single flashing light, musical toy...he could hold it, stare at it, and put it in his mouth ALL DAY LONG.  This isn't quite good for my phone.  There have been a few times already when I thought he had ruined it with his slobber...I could barely hear people talking.  Luckily those times it has dried out and not been a problem. My luck is not that good with phones and I tend to break them before my contract is up (yet we still don't get the insurance for some reason).  I have until November before it is up (AND I CAN GET MY iPHONE!!!) so letting Ethan always have my phone to mess with is clearly not an option.

Yesterday I was a little behind in getting ready so I finished putting my make up on in the boys' bathroom while they played with their toys on the floor.  I must have left my phone on the floor because Ethan found it (put in his mouth of course) and was slobbering all over it.  I took it away and tossed it in the diaper bag.  He was not too happy and made it across the bedroom (while crying and fussing) to the bag and pulled out the phone...SERIOUSLY?!?  He was quite happy and proud of himself for being able to get the phone back but then SUPER MAD two seconds later when I took it away again.

I tried to give him toys, his paci and anything else I thought might distract him and make him happy but he preferred to let it be known that he was mad at his mama.  So...I just let him cry (while I took a few pictures...such a mean mom) while I finished getting ready.  He eventually stopped when he realized he wasn't getting the phone and went back to finding other things he isn't supposed to play with...clock radio, monitor cord, baby gate.  Here are a few pictures that I took of him...notice he doesn't have a single tear coming from his eyes...

Poor Pitiful Baby

Mama is Just SO Mean!

I wonder who he gets this from...certainly not me!  :)
