Too bad he doesn’t have a cute older brother…

Monday June 29

Another mellow day…off and on looked like it would storm. Did lots of journaling…watched some episodes of “Weeds”

Have I mentioned I'm hooked on “Weeds”...?
It’s been on showtime for a while. Widowed suburban house wife deals weed to support her family after her husband dies. I Love Mary Louise Parker. So I download a couple episodes every few days and watch them when I go to bed. My tv time. It entertains me.

So Elia has a little reoccurring friend we play with now. The boy (ledion)…dedo to Elia…is almost 3 and a serious pain in the ass. His grandpa brings him up often and he absolutely does not mind him AT ALL. The first few play dates really consisted of me playing with Ledion to distract him from his big blue jeep…so Elia could play with it.

Kids aren’t so fond of sharing…and trying to get them to is EXAUSTING!

So now Dedo is Elia’s friend and he is very excited when he comes to play…and they make sure to find us when they come…if we aren’t outside they get us from the house.
There is no hiding from dedo!

So too bad dedo isn’t brought up here by a cute older brother, nope…big bellied grandpa. We usually just sit at the playground and I let the grandpa deal with them mostly…since its Dedo that needs most the dealing with.

The biggest problem with Dedo is he spits. Yes…SPITS. A lot and usually in response to the word no and directed at the person saying no. Not the best behavior.

And elia copies EVERYTHING…so Dedo spits…Elia spits. This is not ok. Thank goodness he doesn’t really know how to spit much…Dedo on the other hand. Gross.
Mama got a little preview of the bad influence that is Dedo. The restaurant was slow and we played outside the restaurant with Mama before going up to get ready for bed. Elia was spitting and throwing rocks (at mom) with no hesitation or response to being told stop.
I just looked at her and said DEDO.
Duhn duhn duuuhhn!
