Episodes like today (and yesterday, and the day before that) are the reason why I only want one daughter. That’s right…she’s been a PILL! Especially around nap time or bed time! She refused to take a nap today and I thought – oh good…that’ll make bed time easy. At 5 I stopped and said, “Spencer, where’s Evie? She’s being too quiet.” I found her on the couch like this:
She just crashed! Luckily she only slept for 1 hour. But then the attitude came back out. She cried and she screamed. I tried to give her a cheese stick, her milk, a candy… I put a princess movie in, I tried playing with her…NOTHING! She just kept at it. Finally daddy came home and that distracted her for a little bit…then she screamed and cried when I tried giving her dinner AND ice cream! She screamed at me when I brought her out of our neighbor’s house! She just SCREAMED (and mind you…it’s the loud, high pitched “I’m so mad and I want you to know it” scream!) Steve and I were figuring out a program on the computer and she started going through our stuff. Steve told her ‘no – those aren’t yours. Put them back’ and she screamed some more! Look how tragic her little life is? She stood there with her arms stretched out, reaching for something she couldn’t (and shouldn’t!) have. Can you guess what it was?
