yet another Samantha says moment

Lately Sam has the "I want" bug in every store we go into. The last few weeks it has been Barbies or baby dolls. (I think she's a little young for the half dressed Barbies, but maybe I'm just denying that my baby is growing up) . So Brandon & I decided that she could get a barbie/baby doll if she slept in her bed, the entire night, for five nights.

When I brought up this proposal to her in the store when she was yet again asking to buy 2 Barbies she said to me "Mom, that not happenin" My sister & sister-in-law had to turn the corner so Sam wouldn't see how hard they were laughing. Don't you love the moments toddlers give you?

Easter

The Easter house we decorated.

This dress was on for about 10 minutes. And while it is beautiful, it isn't even the Easter assemble we had picked out for today...she's not into "scratchy, not comfy" dresses.

Easter morning!

Ask a stupid question, get the obvious answer

Luckily for us, Samantha is a great kid and doesn't get into trouble that often. It has been about 6 months since we have used the timeout corner; when I go get her from timeout I ask her why she is in timeout, to make sure she understands why she was there, then I tell her I love her, give her a hug, and we are onto the next thing.

So tonight she is up late, we are trying to get her to brush her teeth and she proceeds to tell me "No!" multiple times & loudly so I say, alright, time for a time out. After about 1 minute of dramatic crying I go over the the corner and ask "Sam, why are you in timeout?" to which she replied "Because you put me there." And there you have it.
