So despite a drama-filled, emotional, crazy Monday…
On the part of the daughter, mostly…maybe a little from me… 😉
Maelie started the day off in a super funny way,
and it was really nice to start our morn
ing that way.
I went in to get her up around 8:00 this morning, and as I walked into her room, I saw her head pop up over the side of the crib, and she just watched me as I walked to her blinds to open them and then to her closet to get some clothes for her.
The watching was funny enough, but when I got her on the changing table to change her diaper and get her dressed, the following conversation unfolded.
Yes, a conversation.
On the part of two people.
Me: Ok, we need to put your jeans on.
Mae: No! (kicks legs several times)
Me: (holding her legs down and trying not to laugh) Yes!
Mae: No! (more kicking)
Me: Yes!
We struggled for a minute or so, and three times she kicked the jeans off her legs before I finally got them pulled up, zipped, and buttoned.
Me: Now, are you going to be a good girl
today or a naughty girl
?
Mae: Hmmmmm… (she waits a moment) Naughty!
That did it. I just laughed and laughed.
Whatever it was that she meant, she certainly lived up to it.
We had a very active, ornery day. (Those are nice adjectives.)
I love her…and am thankful for the love and laughter we share together.
But I’m still hoping for a little less drama tomorrow.
