One of the things that Kyle has not yet figured out, is that you cannot tell Tyler you are doing anything unless it happens in the next 24 hours. He understands today and tomorrow. That is it.
In order to get Tyler to stop doing "something" at times, Kyle will remind him of something that is going to happen in the future. Last night, Kyle took Tyler to Wal-Mart to get some stuff, get a haircut, and order a cake. They accomplished 2 of the 3 goals of that trip, because Tyler was in a "mood". Kyle said he chased him through the store a couple times, and gave up on ordering a cake after a while. In order to get him to stop, he told him Carley and Emily were coming this weekend.
First off- Tyler doesn't know what a "weekend" is. All he knows is, "Is Daycare Open or Closed?". Seriously. He asks that every night. "Is daycare open tomorrow?" No, means a weekend, and yes, means mommy and daddy have to work. Pretty simple.
Now, I have answered the question "Are Carley and Emmy coming tomorrow?", approximately 100 times. Maybe 200. Or 300. I tell him that they'll be here Saturday, and that means nothing. So 5 minutes later, he asks again.
Kyle - PLEASE don't tell Tyler he's going to do anything unless it happens in the next 24 hours, or even better - within the next 4. Apparently this boy has inherited his mother's planning ahead ability - which does not exist.
