Sour Patch Baby

I often laugh at those silly sour patch kids candy commercials. I mean some of them are downright hilarious to me. My favorite one being the one where the sour patch kid cuts the little girl's hair in her sleep. I'm actually smiling thinking about it. For those that don't know the concept behind the sour patch kids candy, it's a sweet gummy candy coated with sour dust. So the whole saying is first they're sour then they're sweet. Well I happen to be raising a sour patch kid. My little cub can be a little cold sometimes. For instance he now gets a kick out of pushing my face away when I ask for a kissee (spelled how I say it). It brings him so much joy to give me the "stiff arm" as my loving Husband calls it. Sometimes he takes pity on me, the cub, and will give me a kissee after the rejection. This was the first incident in which I noticed the whole sour then sweet affect. I've now seen it in action in many different ways. Like how he will throw a temper tantrum then cuddle up in my arms ever so sweetly and make little cooing sounds. He'll also destroy something then look up at me with his big adorable eyes and the most innocent face.  Well over the weekend I captured some of his behavior on film...

First he's sour...

So my cub, for reasons unknown to us, enjoys destroying his baby wipes. Oh and generally everything goes in his mouth so he enjoys sucking on them as well. We fight all the time about the wipes but I wanted to snap him in action before I told him, "No Antonio. Don't put the wipe in your mouth".

Then he's sweet...

I tried to catch this last weekend but I'm glad I did this weekend because the cub was actually successful. So he has this new thing of trying to take his dirty diaper to the diaper pail after we change him. This time he managed to get it in the pail all by himself. So sweet!

  Oh well back to sour...

All good things must come to an end. He was so proud of himself for getting the diaper into the diaper pail I guess he wanted to shoot for other items. He first tried to put his Elmo DVD case in there but Husband told him it wouldn't fit. Thus he tried another circular item, the Wii driving wheel. Good thinking son but only diapers in the diaper pail. Now I fear I will have to dig into that thing to get the remote. Who knows what he will try to put in there.
