Yesterday morning, as with every morning, I left Anna Grace in front of the T.V. while I went to take a shower. Mr. Rogers is a wonderful babysitter as is Bert and Ernie. Anyway, she usually watches t.v., plays with toys and comes in to talk to me while I am soaking wet.
The conversation usually goes something like this
AG: "Mommy’s in the shower"
Me: Yep
AG: Mommy’s all wet"
Me: Yep, Mommy’s all wet.
Rinse and repeat. Many times.
Anyway yesterday she decided to do something different. Anna Grace saw that I had the roving batts weighed and divided into equal stacks. Here’s what I found when I got out of the shower:
Mind you, I had started spinning the stuff already and didn’t know how much I had spun out of my current stack. I was left with having to guess. I. Wasn’t. Pleased.
Anna Grace and I had a discussion about this little decision of hers. Her response?
This is Anna Grace’s recent tactic for dealing with any and all correction. Yes it’s funny but sometimes it gets me totally hacked. As in yesterday. This maneuver on her part turned our discussion into a heated discussion.
I am so dreading the teen years!
I had to laugh, because Emma does the hands over the ears thing too. Sometimes when she has done something she knows is a no-no, or makes a mess, she comes to find me with her hands already over her ears. Like yesterday when she poured the entire bottle of Elmer’s Glue onto the dining room table………
(I should have taken a picture. Bad blogger!)
It must be so hard to yell at that face
I think the camel yarn looks pretty damn good !
you can fix that stuff though, right? can you spit splice roving?
Oh how I wish that covering the ears was an appropriate adult response. It would be so much simpler
