Amy FINALLY let me put her hair in pigtails!!! One she finally did, she wants them all the time. She had reached the point of looking like a little shaggy dog, but I REALLY didn’t want to have her hair cut until she turned three. Now, I think we’ll make it! She looks SO cute.
It’s no big secret that Elizabeth is a VERY literal child, and also a VERY deep thinker. Well, the other day she got in trouble b/c she didn’t do well on one of her school papers (note-the problem was not the bad grade, the problem was that she obviously didn’t try, she even spelled her name wrong on the paper). Anyway, she has been rushing through her work, and it shows. We have been warning her, but to no avail. So, we finally decided we were going to have to take action. We decided that she would be grounded from TV and computer for the rest of the week, and we would re-evaluate on Friday afternoon based on her performance the rest of the week. Well, Elizabeth has computer class at school on Fridays. She HATES it. I really don’t know why, she loves the computer at home, but she does. So, she says,
E-No computer Mama?
K-nope.
E-none at all?
K-nope.
E-not at Memaw’s?
K-nope.
E-none at home?
K-nope (see a pattern?)
E-Wellllllllll……then I guess I can’t have computer class on Friday at school, either.
It is at this point that we realize once again that the teenage years at our house will be very interesting. The little goob is already trying to use reverse psychology on us.
