Re: Jennier Brock: Attitudes

[Guest guest]

,

I am scared to see what Zoe will be like when she is 9. Wait until you see her

now that she is 3! The last time we were at the convention she was 16 months.

If she wants something she can't have like, for example, yesterday she wanted

her nails painted (as we were walking out the door), I get foot stomping, eye

rolling, arms crossed and " I NEVER get to have my nails painted... " .

The other day she came to me and said " I sell to the Gypsies. Get 50

cents and buy NEW big sister! "

She's high maintenance!

I seriously can't wait to see again...

an immediate image of achondroplasia, which is very different; and

is now 9 and VERY sensitive about anyone being told

anything!!! Oh, you with small children -- just wait! The good

news is that they get themselves up, get dressed, make their own

breakfasts, etc. The bad news is that their behavior sometimes can

resemble a 2 yr old -- foot stomping, rolling the eyes, etc.

and ,

That is so funny, . I just had to laugh at that one!

LOL! ) I know what you guys mean about the attitudes! Wow,

is 3, too, and sooooo dramatic. I never know when Dr. Jeckyl

and Mr. Hyde are going to come out! I swear he has a split

personality. I don't know about anyone elses child, but if I ask him

if he wants to go outside or go for a ride, he will say no. Then

when I say okay, and start doing something else, he flips out and

cries that he wants to go outside. And, he has such an attitude

about stuff. Talk about high maintenance. I have said this on more

than one occasion! He used to be so sweet and laid back. Now, that

is all down the drain and I am living with the male version of

Sybil!

Boy am I glad I'm not the only one. The past month has been

TERRIBLE. and Emerence have had monster sized attitudes.

Emerence even hits and yells at ( " excuse me? WHAT did you

just say to me? " - okay, she got that one from me)

She also refuses to listen. Tonight she went towards the bathroom

(after I told her about 50 times she could not jump off the couch) to

get her teeth brushed and I went to pick something up and suddenly

heard a huge thud from the living room (the other direction)

following by wailing. She went back, JUMPED off the couch and

whacked her forehead on the floor.

I took both kids to the orthopedic guy the other day and he looked at

me at one point and said, " boy, she is something, you have your hands

full don't you? "

Maybe we can put them altogehter and whine at each other?

Wait until the years 17-19. I don't dye my hair for no reason. If

you all only knew what we are going through..... Max is a piece of

cake compared to my daughter. We will look back on this and laugh,

right?
