Little Stinker

Today, Violet....you:

Woke up and watched Winnie the Pooh while I got ready for school and made you oatmeal. We went to my bank, then for gas, then to Daddy's bank. You went to Moogie's and I ran off to school. When I got back, you were being little stinker! Moogie and I were trying to talk about childcare arrangements for tomorrow. You kept saying "ga ga goo goo" really load over and over again. I asked you to stop and you just kept on going. I laughed with tears in my eyes. It was either that or cry. It's hard to have another conversation with an adult when you are around! Anyway, you got a time out. But, you wouldn't stay in the chair. I had to keep putting you back in the chair and threatning to take away suckers, popsicles, swimming time, etc. Nothing worked. You still kept getting up. Then, I said, "OK, I'm writing a letter to santa claus to tel him not to bring you presents this year at Christmas." I even wrote the whole letter out. I said, I'm going to send this if you get up again. You got up and then asked for a stamp to help me mail it!!!! I'm out of ideas!

Later, you were hitting your doll. Moogie took it away and said that you can't be mean to Kaitlin. So, you found another doll and started hitting her too. We took her away and then you cried on the floor.

Moogie tried to take you up for a nap. She fell asleep and you didn't. I took you down stairs. There is NO getting you asleep for a nap!! We went to Home Depot. (For my sanity.)

Later, I took you on a walk around Moogie's neighborhood. You like to pretend that you have a house under this dogwood tree. We walked farther, and you found another tree to play house in. I rang the door bell and you were cleaning your house. You said for me to hold your baby. I said, "Oh, what's its name." You said, "Shirt." Then you said, "Here's another baby." I said, "Oh, what's it's name." You said, "Shirt." This proceeded to go on for 8 more babies named shirt. I was counting to see how many times you'd do it. Then, I said I was going to "work." You came with me. I said, "Who is going to take care of the 8 Shirt babies?" You said, "Their daddy's with them." I said, "Oh, What's his name." You said, "Coleslaw."

I left to go do my massages as you were falling asleep in mom's arms (at 5:30). I told Moogie to keep you awake or I'd be up with you until midnight! She decided to just have you spend the night there tonight so I could go straight home from work and study.
