a female right ... rite?

i know k is not alone in this, and i know it can't simply be a female thing, but what is it about a toddler that makes them change their minds, constantly, all day long?

this is the latest thing in our house. 

"i want charlotte's web"
i cue up charlotte's web
"no, i think i want mr. fox"
(i no longer play the fool, but a couple of weeks ago...) i cue up mr. fox
"i want charlotte's web!!!" with ensuing tears and tantrum

what in the world???

as i said, i no longer play the fool... now she gets what she asked for in the first place.  this goes on all day long, about everything under the sun.  food, toys, playing in the pool, going out, anything.

i am smart enough to realize this is a phase of the beast ... oops, i mean toddler.  and i know this won't last forever, but how long will this go on?  i know it's part of the toddler exerting his/her opinions and making his/her own decisions, but come on.

i love my little girl :)

Haha you are so great, and you inspire me! I love this blog! Of course toddlers are annoying (haha) but it's also kind of fun to watch them make sense of the world.

Somehow Mylee is pretty easy to reason with, unless she's tired.She likes to drag our bedtime routine out as long as she can. She makes requests like "Mylee need Juice Momma" or "I need my medicine". Sometimes she'll claim she needs to go pee pee in the potty and then just sit there...

But ya I've got lot's of material I could share about miss Mylee. I'll try and tune in more often.
