Abby is 3 going on 16, la-la, la la la laaaaa...

So, this last week we really laughed hard at some of Abby's sayings. First, on Sunday I was making dinner and Abby was insisting that she was soooooooo hungry (as always) and I told her that she couldn't eat because then she wouldn't eat her dinner. So, she proceeded to pull some yogurt out of the fridge and sat on the floor to eat it. I asked her to please put it back, and she did, but then she huffed, plopped on to the floor and yelled, "Mom! You're ruining my life!" Oh my gosh, where in the world did that come from. I started to laugh so hard, but then realized that she was very serious, so I got myself under control. We are in so much trouble. She said it to me again this morning when I told her that she had to put pants on under her dress (she always has to have a dress on) because it was 30 degrees outside.

The second situation happened this past week when Abby and I had a pretty rocky day. I just had no patience for her and she threw fits left and right. So, Adam got home from school and went into her room to say goodnight. He was talking to her about her day and asked her how it went. She told him that she got in a few timeouts. He said, "Yeah, I heard that you had some trouble today." So she said, "No... but Mommy wasn't very nice to me either." Oh boy. We thought we had a few years before we had to deal with this. That's it... no more Backyardigans or Barbie... it has to be one of them.
