M is acting like a two-year old the last few days...and I admit, it is driving me a little crazy. It's a good thing she's so stinkin' cute!! She is constantly doing a yes/no argument. M: I want chicken; K: okay, we can have chicken. M: No! no, chicken; K: okay, not chicken, what do you want then?; M: I want chicken.....eventually I stop and feed her whatever and she is throwing a fit whichever way I go. At dinner the other night we said a prayer, but M didn't want to participate so J and I stopped trying to get her to join and said a prayer anyway. This made M mad, and for about, oh, 10 minutes kept crying that she wanted to say a prayer. We would say, 'okay, M, we'll say one more prayer with you.' she would turn away and say, 'no prayer!' We gave up on this one too, but she wouldn't stop yelling and crying, so she got a time-out. Which didn't stop her from yelling and crying. In any case, it was a long dinner. And there are a lot more examples just like these......It's getting a little frustrating.
On the other hand...Yesterday night after dinner...well, M was still eating and I was sitting at the table with her while J was cleaning up the kitchen...I was talking to J about something ( I can't remember what) and started to complain to him. In the middle of my sentence, M turns to me and says "Mom. Stop Whining!" ...and, well, I did, cause I couldn't stop laughing! I told her sorry for whining, and that I will stop.
