nice and sweet
Eden has been experiencing an independent, slightly defiant, kindergarten spirit lately. Everything I tell her to do, she argues with me about. I’ve been trying to point out to her that the reason she keeps getting in trouble is because she refuses to obey, but it’s taking some time to sink in.
The other day, after she got in trouble for arguing with me, she looked at me and said, “Why can’t you be nice and sweet like your mom?” (My mom quite appreciated this sentiment.)

Just wait until she dyes her hair black and starts wearing “Question Authority” t-shirts.

Don’t worry, this phase only lasts about 15 years.

Ha! I always thought if my grandmother was still living (she died when I was 10) she would have made my mom be nice to me…….
May I say from my current perspective that grandmotherhood is wonderful! No wonder grandmoms are so nice :)
