Do Not Want
Thank you all for your condolences, concerns and kindness. (I like alliteration. Sue me.) Maddie is doing just fine, thankyouverymuch. In fact, she’s been great to be around the last two days. I think I finally showed her who’s boss around here.
Whatever. Her top two teeth finally broke through. I’m amazed at how teething affects EVERYTHING. Eating, sleeping, whining. Everything was crap until those suckers popped through. Now? Sanity is once again restored. Well, a working beta version of sanity, at least.
A new and disturbing development, however. Maddie now gives me the brush off. I tried to smooch her today after buckling her into her car seat and she turned her head away with a pissy attitude. I asked if she was going to kiss me and she turned her head away, again, and gave me crocodile tears. The nerve! Then, while we were playing in her room, I gave her a hug and she PUSHED ME AWAY. Um, excuse me…. wtf do you think you’re doing, little girl? It’s ok for you to whine and beg me to pick you up, but I’d better just keep my distance once I’ve rescued you from whatever torturous situation you find yourself in? I’m feeling a little used, here, chicky.
When we play, she really only wants me to be right there. I’m not allowed to have any toys or interact with her. But if I try and let her play by herself, then there’s the whining and crying and “mama!”
Whatever. I’m so over you.
Ok, I’m not over you. I’m just trying to be all tough because I already miss my baby. Who’s this girl with attitude and opinions? Do Not Want.
PS - I bought the Bare Minerals today - LOVE

Uh oh, she’s starting with the attitude already huh? Have you experienced temper tantrums yet? I remember when Zachariah was about 10-11 months and he started this little attitude. I thought I was in for it, but it did even out some. It all coinsided with his independent walking.
Now we’re dealing with his “no”s about EVERYTHING. Even if he means yes, he’ll say no. Grr.
I hope that the teething gets better for you guys.
Oh heavens. Such is the joy of girls because this sort of thing doesn’t ever really completely go away. However, take heart that it appears that the smart ones pull this crap. She’s testing you! Hope you brought your number 2 pencils and an assload of Tylenol!
Ah yes, we get lots of attitude around here. Sometimes I think she’s already being a little manipulative with the withholding of affection (is that possible at 2?) But she totally knows how to work it so that Mommy and Daddy are now total suckers for hugs and kisses and will do anything to score one!
Yup, we too are also getting denied hugs and kisses and are trying not to beg for them, must be in the water!
I know all about this. AD even does the “talk to the hand” thing to me. Sigh.
