A Hard Knock Life

Today after his class at Tumbles, Alex wished to get a pumpkin. We strolled to Magone's and found a nicely shaped medium pumpkin. We also found a pumpkin carving kit in CVS. Later that afternoon, following his nap, Alex wanted to carve the pumpkin. Unfortunately, he was too wound up about Nick Jr. Boost to pay much attention. I told him that we'd do pumpkin carving on another day.

Later that evening, Alex had to eat his dinner in order to play on Boost some more. In the meantime, I sat down at the computer to do my homework. Alex asked if he could get on Boost and I explained that if he didn't finish his dinner, he'd get no computer privileges for the rest of the night.

'No pumpkin carving AND no Boost today!?!?!' he exclaimed.

Poor kid.
