Lil’ Duck has become a dictator. From the moment his little eyes flutter open, he is full of demands… “sippy please, mama, no yucky sippys, COLD sippy milk fridge”…. “cheerios, now, in my bowl, let’s go now, mama, get up!!” This morning, in my half-awake state, I am accosted on the way to the coffee machine by the little one holding a sheet of star stickers. The same stickers that I was sure that I hid in the bottom of a very full drawer…..
Tiny, thin stickers, with about 100 of these things on each sheet. Trying to peel them off after being fully awake is hard enough. Finally, I get one off and put it atop his head, per his request… only to be met with a demand for “anoder ticker on cheek, mama peease!!”. Ten stickers later (why you would want a sticker on your nose is beyond me), I’m finally freed to continue on my coffee mission.
Of course, he just ate all of my oatmeal as I was writing this.
Nice picture. With three kids, we have learned to ignore the kids most of the time some of the time once in a while.
He sounds too precious! Great blog!
Now you sounds like my mother when she tells my children about all the crazy things I did when I was a child.
Be happy he eat oatmeal and not the stickers:-)
too funny!
I remember an elderly lady who lived down the lane from me… when she was delighted with something she would say “Oh! MY Stars!”
I think it is appropriate for your sticker morning.
I just love that photo! And I just love hearing all the cute Lil Duck stories! Thanks for sharing.
I always thought, “the world will teach him what he needs to know about discipline, misery, etc.,” I do not have to. He probably will not remember the stars, but you will.
Keep those stickers for when he is a teenager and you will rejoice in the simple child that he once was …
I just used to hand my boy a roll of masking tape and let him pull and play with the stickiness.
Cute!
Who cares about mom, right? 
No coffee or oatmeal? I would be one grumpy Mommy!
