On the way up the stairs to bed I had two grumbling kids who wanted to stay up late. (Riley is ALWAYS the ring leader of requests like that and Samuel is a very eager and loud participant in the requests/demands/pleading.) On the way up the stairs I reminded them that they do get to stay/play with a sitter tomorrow while I go to the doctor. I also mentioned that they have to get up early and they need to feel good in the morning so they can have lots of fun...yaddie yada yada. Riley seemed happy with that for like 1/2 a second and then she folded her little arms, turned around to face me and said, "Fine I WILL go to bed but I will NOT close my eyes...humph!!!!!!!"
I pray that her preteen and teen years will not do me in completely! I may need therapy way before then!
heaven help us all when our girls are preteens.
ReplyDeleteLet's go ahead and make a pact now to form a support group when they do reach puberty!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad I do not have little girls, on the flip side though by the time my boys hit puberty I will not be able to feed them both :)
ReplyDeleteWell I have 2 and 2, so I'll be thoroughly insane by the time they are all out of the house. I won't be able to feed them or deal with their attitudes! ;-)
