Terrible Three's??

Wow have we had a fun few days. Sunday night Kendall would NOT go to sleep. She is taking medicine for a sinus infection so at first I thought "oh heck just come in my bed". Yeah, well that didn't work. She fussed, cried, whined SCREAMED until 4 a.m. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? I don't think I've been that frustrated since she was an infant. I finally just turned the TV on and said don't get off the couch and I went in my room. Somewhere in there she put her babies in their bed and then she got in bed. Needless to say, yesterday was a VERY long day.

So today I think I've realized she just wants the CONTROL. Which I do not give up easily. As Aunt Stacey said to me "the monkey's do NOT run the circus". She wants to brush her own teeth with no assistance, she wants to pick out her own clothes, she wants to open the fridge and get her water. She had a meltdown this morning when I didn't let her pick her outfit out. And when I take off from her what I just picked out and tell her to go pick something out then, she gives me a snotty little grin like HA I got what I wanted. oooh that was oh so pleasant. So I guess now I'll lay two outfits out in the morning and let her pick - that way she still has a little control.....MONKEY
