Someone please pass the soap...

It has been a challenging week to say the least. It's so hard when David is out of town and we're going on week #2. My hat is off to all of the single parents out there.

I would say the worst (so far) was yesterday. We had her ballet pictures and I couldn't get her off my leg. She was just scared to take the picture! I finally told her we could leave if she wanted too and then she decided she wanted to take the picture. Did a big ole grin when it was time. I think she is having some separation issues with David being gone so long. Fast forward to that night. She did not want me leaving her room and kept coming out. I finally told her that if she came out again I was going to take away her animals. She looked me dead in the eye and cocked her head and said "Then just go ahead and take them". I really do think my mouth was open in shock. I never thought I would have to deal with a sassy three year old!!! She immediately covered her face on the bed because she knew she was in trouble. But, I do believe that is the first time (and won't be the last) that I will want to wash her mouth out with soap.

But, to end on a cute note here is my baby girl in her dance costume. Please ignore the elephant ankles :).

Sticking her tongue out


Big ole grin

And the beginning of a fishy face smile

*No child had their mouth washed out with soap in this story. I can't promise anything for those teenage years though...

I thought she was adorable in the outfit too :). I could do with out those stupid bows on the shoulders. They keep coming undone and they are just huge.

She asked for her animals back tonight and I told her what would happen. She came with every excuse before I left the room, but so far she has stayed in. We shall see!

Not a fan of the outfit or the bows in her hair, but she is my little sassy stinker.
