It's Already Happening...


Dave and I were trying to get out of the house the other day and Meg didn't want any part of it. You know how your kids arch their back and squirm as you are trying to buckle them in their carseat? You know how it makes you crazy? Dave was dealing with Meg and finally had to get mad at her and push her down in the seat. Meg was SOOOO mad at him. She screamed and cried and then said, "I can't love my dad!" To Meg the word "can't" means don't, won't or can't. She said it a couple of times. It was so funny. I told Dave that basically she was saying 'I hate you' in a two year old's language. He felt terrible and was trying to get back on her good side the rest of the night. Boy, we certainly have some interesting years ahead of us.

Hey Laura, I was looking at Ane's blog and found yours. Way cute. This post was really cute too. Being a parent is hard. :)

It's a good thing they have short term memories at that age and forgive us the next morning.

If he thinks that is bad I shutter to think about what she might say when she is 11. Cooper's fav's are- You are ruining my life. AND... You are meaner to me than to anyone else in the entire world. Follow that up with a door slam. Lovely isn't it? :) The great part is that you do become more immune to it.
