5. While throwing a tantrum for her father, Ladybug took a break to calmly shout, "You're making me crazy, Daddy".
4. Ladybug's terrible twos are kicking into high gear. She is still the most pleasant little girl, but when she starts acting "two" and trying to push the limits.......it's usually game on in this house. Yesterday she was throwing a fit b/c she wanted to stay home and play in the freshly fallen snow. She refused to get dressed and started stiffening her legs so I couldn't get her underwear on. I'd had enough after about 5 minutes of her running around and not being cooperative, I made her go to timeout. I asked her to put on her underwear before she went into timeout. "No!" was the reply I received and she went into the corner completely naked. That ladies and gentlemen is what I am dealing with!
3. The weather is getting colder and Ladybug has had to start wearing her heavy coat. It was quite a transition for her. She is a little bit of a diva and enjoys wearing girlie things and the color pink. One day the temperature had dropped quite a bit and she needed to wear her heavy coat. It's brown and the cuffed sleeves are brown with hot pink polka dots. She saw the coat and immediately said, "ummm No! That's not mine. That's like a brown or black.....I like something like a pink". What?? I have officially lost control! So...I tried to play up the pink polka dots....so far that has been working.
2. She really got into Christmas this year and enjoyed reading her Bible and doing her Advent tree. She really just amazes me with what she can retain and understand at this age. She picked up her Bible and I asked her to read (pre-read) it to me. She wanted to read the story of Noah, b/c that is her "favorite" story. She "read" (from memory), "Noah builds a big boat. Noah obeyed God. It rained and rained and rained some more".
1. Ladybug: Mommy, am I going caroling?
Me: No
Ladybug: Aw.....but, I like caroling!
Me: Do you know any songs?
Ladybug: Jingle Bells!! I want to go caroling to daddy.
------and we did. We caroled to daddy, in front of the bathroom door. :-)
