Seriously Five

Well, I have to be honest, I have been seeing this grumpy, defiant face a lot recently. I was wondering what was up and I realized …”Her 5th birthday is just around the corner”.

I remember five.  When Imogen turned five, I mean almost literally to the date of her fifth birthday,  she became difficult and a down right disagreeable. What is up with that? Pushing the boundaries. Seeing just what she can get away with.  Turning the tables on me …Scarlett actually counted to 3 while saying that she would not be my friend anymore  if she got to 3 before I did what she wanted.  Wow.I swear, I could see the horns poking out of the top of her head as she threw all of her pillows and stuffies off of her bed in protest of going to bed the other night.

Patience.

Give me patience.

I am just trying to remember how long this stage lasts.

It could be a long summer…

I know that I am always trying to make the summer last a little longer, but THIS is not exactly the way I want to make it linger.

Just another example of ‘Be careful what you wish for’. Ha, ha.
