Friday Five - Things the Fellow does not Approve

We have on our hands an independent little thinker these days, with opinions & desires and freshly added Things a Fellow Does Not Approve Of and today I will honor those things with the hope that someday these opinions will change!

1. Fellow approves of raisins & craisins BUT not any other kind of dried fruit. I tried the Fruit Bites & Raisin with Cheeries and since they were different colors and different shapes (I'm assuming), he wouldn't even touch them. Or look at them.
2. Fellow does not approve of eating what he asks to eat. Snack time has been challenging this week to say the least. He will ask for cereal, then not eat it. He will ask for cottage cheese and then run screaming like I handed him a bowl of snakes. He will ask for yogurt and then look at me like I just asked him to name all fifty (there are 50, right?) states in alphabetical order. He will ask for a cookie, but not that cookie, he wants that cookie and you see, Dada ate all of those cookies so there are none to give. And yet he still looks the gift cookie in the face and refuses to eat it. Fine, I'm not one to waste food...
3. Fellow does not approve of shirts. He's been hardcore hitting up the Ghetto Style this week. As Nana says, I need to get the kid some bling.
4. Fellow does not approve of running errands that involve him being in the car seat, stroller and/or shopping cart for the entire duration. He wants to "walk, Mama" and "run, Mama" and yes, Mama is well aware of this little factoid but is also well aware of the street outside those doors and those doors that open automatically and the errands that actually need to get done, thankyouverymuch, this is not a playground, son.
5. Fellow does not approve of being silent in the car for one hot second. At all. Today, I told him he was a distraction as I was trying to pull out into holiday rush hour traffic coming from the Post Office (carseat-->stroller errand) and it actually shut him the hell up made him pause and reflect silently for a moment.
