While I was in the midst of making lunch, Johnny decided to make a phone call on one of his play cell phones. He talked to this person for a solid twenty minutes - complete with his own language, hand motions, sighs, and even some eye rolls! I kept peeking into his room to see him being cute and walking around talking to this imaginary person. Which was fine until Johnny saw me with a camera and then he freaked - he has this new camera phobia that irkes me to no end.
I got a couple of shots on the camera before he noticed the camera and started getting angry (also notice the lovely mess behind him - his room had been clean about 30 min before this picture and then he decided to flip his play table and chairs over...which had LEGOS all over it...*sigh*):
Then he got mad for the last couple of pictures and no, that isn't crying, but rather whining (sorry the pictures are a little dark for some reason - they looked a lot lighter on my camera):
Here he is screaming at me:
After the phone incident and lunch, he took a nap. I thought this would abate the grumpiness - I was wrong. If anything, he was grumpier when he woke up. He didn't want anyone to touch him or look at him or anything. He just whined and screamed and kicked his feet. It was ridiculous, but a little amusing to say the least. John went back to school for his evening class and so it was just Johnny and me hanging out together as usual. He did a little bit better after dinner and cuddled with me on the couch and we played with some toys and pretended we were dinosaurs.
The highlight of his night though has been ice cream, hands down. He was starting to get a little grumpy again - his molars were bothering him - so I brought out an ice cream bar which he enjoyed sitting on our kitchen island while mommy took pictures of his adorable little ice cream beard and facial expressions. :)
He actually let me take pictures this time without a fuss because he was quite immersed with devouring the ice cream. :) I hope for his sake (and my sanity) that he has a better day tomorrow. I want to see smiles and giggles and his usual carefree self - no more Grumpy Days! Daddy should be home soon to say goodnight to the munchkin and then it's off to bed for him (and finally a grumpy-free zone for mommy)!! :) Oh, and less than two weeks before we go home to see family and friends! We're so excited!

Sorry he had such a grumpy day, my children were rather grumpy yesterday too )= I LOVE the ice cream pics! too cute! hope you got to relax a bit when daddy got home (=
Your Dad says that Johnny was pretending to talk to "Papa" when he was on his cell phone having the conversation in his room. Your Dad says he was upset and telling his Papa about all the ways that he was being mistreated by his parents! Ha-Ha. I also LOVED the pictures with the ice cream. His soulful eyes look just like you baby girl! Love Mom.
