having two busy boys and then a girl, i expected to notice a few differences in raising them. i also am accutely aware of the loss of energy it requires to keep up with my boys. what could be more draining than that? ummm...apparently the mental exhuastion that comes with raising girls.
mind you, she can't even freaking speak yet. but she's got me figured out.
the other night at dinner i casually mentioned to dan that it was about time for mabel to get some sort of consequence for actions. she is getting a bit slappy with her brothers and is on the verge of tantrums. i describe that maybe i will place her on the step and remove her from whatever situation that requires a consequence.
so...the next morning she wakes up and goes to play in her favorite kitchen cabinets. she loves to pull things out, and then put them back in. today she pulls things out as i am busy getting the daily whole wheat waffles ready for jack and mixing sammy's favorite high fiber cereal combination just right. i hear some noise, look over, see mabel. she has dumped all the cereal on to the floor and is now crunching it with her feet. she is all big blue eyes and smiles. then, she waltzes over to step and sits down. seriously people...she is 18 months. what is ahead for me?????????
