So mad at Mama!

Tonight when I got home from work I decided to perform a little test. We have been trying to show Elijah that he needs to WORK to get some things, since he seems so content staying wherever we put him. We can't always just place everything he wants right in front of him. So I brought him to his bedroom and put his play table on one side of him (just out of his reach) and his walker toy on the other side of him (just out of reach), thinking he might make some sort of effort to get to one of them. He looked at each toy, looked at me, gave me a pouty lower lip and started to cry his head off. I finally saved him after about five minutes of this because I only get an hour and a half a night with him the way it is. I'm not going to spend the whole time watching him be so unhappy! It took him a while before he warmed back up to me. He was so mad! Maybe I shouldn't have been taking pictures of his displeasure, either. (Sorry some of these pics are blurry. Our camera takes horribly blurry pics in low light. Arg, wish we would have known that before we spent hundreds of dollars on a camera!)


Mommy, Noooooo! Don't make me work!


I'm just gonna lie here and rest. And cry. This is too exhausting.


Thank goodness Mama rescued me. Sucker!


I'll think about forgiving you.


Here's a tiny smile.


Here's a pretty smile. I love you! Don't make me do work anymore.

I know eventually we do have to let him cry so he starts moving around. He's just so content!
