Today she had a mild tantrum. It’s usually in the afternoon when she might be getting tired, but it’s always a battle of wills. The thing that struck me about today was that when I said, “Honey, I’ve asked you to please come over here now,” she took a break from her 10 minute crying jag, looked up and said, “You asked me, so that means I get to choose and I would not like to do it.”
Here is just a random fierce pose. We were playing, but you get the idea. I love this kid.




She’s a clever one!! Watch out law school!!!
Is this her war paint for her fierce pose??? I love this kiddo!!!
Yep. She just knew what she needed and went to town with that face crayon.
Tip from a childless back seat parent— dumb her up a bit like the rest of us so you are on equal ground again. She is too smart and cute and I love her too!!!
(BTW—Do not try this tip for real…am kidding)
thanks for the tip and disclaimer!
