My Girl

My little baby is turning into such a little lady! :( She is becoming so verbal, and a little bossy if I do say so myself!. She will rarely let me hold and cuddle her, and lately if I give her a kiss, she will wipe it off! No kisses mommy! It's so funny but sad. Everything pretty much has to be her way or the highway....I find myself having to bargain with her most of the time..to find a happy medium. I mean once she gets something in her head, she will dig those heels in....and not budge! This weekend was rough. She would not listen for anything, and who wants to be that mommy that is constantly getting on to her child. I would sit her in time out. I would put her in her crib. I would take things away from her, none of this works! She would tell me I be a good girl mommy!" Yea right! Going to the store or any type of shopping adventure with her is nearly impossible. I spend so much time trying to keep her from having a melt down that I forget what I came to the store for. If I bring a snack sometimes that helps, but most of the time she throws it on the floor or at people! I would venture to say as she approaches three years old in about seven months that this will not get easier! Oh and bed time, lets not even get started on that. Thank goodness that she is still in the crib....or I don't know what in the world we would do. The last three nights have been hard trying to get her to go to bed. Kicking, screaming...just a good ol, down right fit! I think that some of this is in part to the new class room she has gone into at daycare. There are so many more kids, and its total chaos when I go in there. I could just be looking for excuses. Anyway that's my girl, and I love her...so I have to deal....but let me tell you, I did have to go behind closed doors and cry a little bit this weekend...because she had me stressed!! So looking forward to THREE!

Anyway in the midst of the bad behavior this weekend she did have me cracking up a bit.

ME: Sidney do you have to go poo poo in the potty?
Sidney: No mommy, no poo poo! No potty!
Me: OK, please tell me when you have to go poo poo.
Five minutes later..........
ME: Sidney do you have to go potty?
Sidney: NO MOMMY!
Five minutes later......
Sidney: (walking over to me.) Mommy, I poo poo! I go potty....
Me: Sidney, its too late...you already went potty in your pull up, its too late!
Sidney: It's not too late mommy...potty
Me: Its too late!!
Sidney: IT'S NO TO LATE MOMMY, THERE IS STILL POO POO UP THERE!!! (she brilliant)

You really had to be there because it was so funny! I laughed so hard, then she started laughing..
and I know, I should have taken her to the potty earlier....but I'm working on her learning to go when she gets the urge! Oh well this potty stuff stinks!
Then Sunday, in the mess that was our washing machine breaking down....my husband took some clothes over to his dads house to wash. She tells my mother in law that she wants to watch harry potter! My mother in law tells her ...Sidney I don't have harry potter here. Then a commercial comes on advertising snow white dvd...and of course she likes this. So my mother in law asked her if she has snow white to watch...Sidney said no...but its my birthday! LOL, I mean where do they come up with this stuff. She is a girl after my own heart, trying to get someone to give her a present!!
