A Quickie

Needless to say, it’s extremely frustrating trying to give a 2 year old

direction and reminders without a voice.

So when she walked up to Sadie this morning, yelled PEEKABOO,

and slapped her on both cheeks (!?!?!?!?!?)

I had to rely on facial expressions alone.

Apparently my withering gaze (perfected from teaching 2nd grade)

You know the one- the “i’m so disappointed, I can’t believe you did that” face,

which by the way is the same face I give people that kick my seat OVER AND OVER

at the movies or on a plane…well apparently it worked.

She stopped dead in her tracks and slunk off to hide.

Then I pointed at her room, and off she went, crying and sniffling.

She came out shortly, saying “I weady to be sweet”.

She walked over to Sadie, hugged her and said

“I sowwy sissy. I not hit you again. I wove you”.

Yesssss. Job well done mama.

I’ve still got the face. 

I’ve got a quick page to share and then I’m off to continue giving

verrry dramatic facial expressions and frantic hand motions.

I probably look like I’m on crack.

Good thing no one can see me (b/c of the motions, and also b/c i’m wearing a college t-shirt from 10 years ago, jimmy’s sweat pants, and socks with grippers on the bottom).

Sidenote: if Harper does not stop following me into the bathroom and yelling ” YOU DID IT!! YOU TEE TEED IN THE POTTY!!! GOOD JOB MAMA!!!”.

I am going to lose it.

I have no privacy anymore. None.

happy wednesday, friends.
