3 Year Old For Sale!

This child is testing my patience lately. Every morning is a big dramatic display of emotions. She is always fine until it comes time to get her shoes and coat on. I think the problem is that she has too many options. She has like three coats, which ever one I ask her to put on she wants the other one. Last night we were leaving and I told her to put her pink coat on, to which she replied "Pink is NOT my favorite color, I want my purple coat" After standing in the corner and a talk from Daddy we worked it out!! She was a sweatheart the rest of the night. Then this morning I guess she decided it was a new day so the drama started all over. I said "do you want to wear your brown shoes?" she said "NO!" so we started to put her tennis shoes on to which she replied "I WANT MY BROWN SHOES!!!!" No matter what I want, she wants the opposite. We are going to have to put a stop to this QUICK! Last night in the car she said "Me and you are fighting so we just need to belax" I may have to give her up for adoption if she doesn't straighten out!!! (of course i'm kidding... maybe)

I got a phone call the other night asking if I wanted to make a donation to the Vietnam Vets. I have an ongoing garage sale pile with alot of clothes so I decided I could donate them. I hate when people call me asking me to donate money because I don't have a ton of extra money laying around to just give to someone less fortunate than myself. I know that's terrible but that's how I feel. So when they just asked for a donation of items and didn't ask for cash I felt good about it. I have everything set out on my porch. Hopefully they will actually pick it up. So I guess I've done my good deed for the season!

This is what my husband did at work on monday! Maybe he's onto something here!

I have the sweetest kid ever. Yesterday morning I was laying in bed with alivia we had the following conversation:

Me: Guess where you are going today?
Alivia: Where?
Me: Ambers house
Alivia: (excited head shake, eyes closed, tongue stuck out-she's weird I know)
Me: Nat is sick today so Amber is going to watch you
Alivia: Why is Nat sick?
Me: She just doesn't feel good today so she needs to get some rest so she can watch you tomorrow
Alivia: does she have medicine?
Me: Yes
Alivia: is joel going to give her medicine?
Me: Yep, he's going to take care of her so she will feel better tomorrow
Alivia: Should we go and check on her?
Me: No she will be fine tomorrow

I thought that was so sweet that she was worried about her getting better.

The other day in her room she was watching little mermaid

Alivia: What is that girls name?
Me: That's Ursula, she's a sea witch
Alivia: Why is she a sandwich?
Me: (laughing) not a SANDWICH-a SEA WITCH

She's a funny girl
