hooligan

crazy for the last two nights:

E screaming her head off and not going to sleep for over two hours at bedtime. Both nights I was of course trying to spend time with people. doesn't go so well with a screaming child.

Today right before nap she was sitting on the potty contentedly looking at books waiting for. . . well, you know. What a two year old sits on the potty waiting for. After about 10 minutes, I go back to check and the book is in pieces all over the floor. She has done this before and knows the consequences. So, she just looks at me and laughs. I spank her bottom. She cries for, oh, two minutes maybe. I look at her and firmly tell her that is not okay to destroy things. (very angry tone from momma.) She laughs. And laughs.

Oh. My. Goodness.
