threats & warnings


Little to me: "I'm gonna put you in the SKY and you're gonna SIT on a CLOUD!"

that'll teach me.




oft-heard phraseology: "I! DON'T! LIKE! THOSE! CHOICES!" & "Get out of my way!" & a personal favorite, "DON'T! PINCH! MY! BONO!"

that last one may have been legit. still, does anyone have any good recommendations for toddler charm school? i would pay money to see any old lady try to put white gloves on my miss. she is...how shall i put it? AWESOME.

Miss Sassy Molassy!
My favorite Elyza sass was the other day when I said it was time for prayers, which means to time sleep right after, and she did not want to do it, so I got this, very reluctantly given, sweet prayer.

Heavenly Father, thank you not for this day, thank you not for mommy and daddy, please not bless peter to get healthy and strong, in the name of not Jesus Christ, amen.
Sassy :)

Both sass pots are delightfully spunky with a dash of moxie. LOVE IT! Could it possibly be that these two lovelies take after their mothers....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. LOL.

Oh, I would like to see what would happen if we put Millie and Little in a room together. Perhaps the sass would cancel out.

Seriously, bribery has become my parenting option of choice. I'm not proud. No. I'm not proud. But pink sparkly ballet flats as incentive equals at least some attempt at charm.

Cute post. The picture of her lying down in her costume looks exactly like you. In fact, I wondered at first if you had a costume just like Little's. Her lips, her chin, just a hint of eye--do you think so?

she looks like such a shlepity little dino on the steps. soooo cute. maybe is was just for a split second though, and then she was off to sassin' you. ahhh. i know exactly how you feel sometimes. i have a sassy sister( well, daughter) too. you are a great mommy who takes her girls to grandma's park. i would just sit at home, unless my cuz didn't know what to say to me so well!! she loves ya! i miss seein yur face!

if she succeeds in putting you on a cloud, can i come too? you have your hands full there. but what a cute dino. and you are one of the most patient mothers i've met. she's lucky to have you.
