Battle of Wills
I didn’t realize the independent streak in Amelia would display itself so early. I succumbed to needing sleep and put the bumpers back in her crib – at least that got me only two wake up calls last night, both fairly minor and easy to fix with some back patting. However, we are now about to face off in the battle of the high chair. I admit, it’s probably my fault. I thought, let’s see how she is standing while holding on to things – and she loved it! Now when we try to put her in the high chair for dinner – legs are locked, they are not bending, she is not sitting and she is crying and very upset. She loves to eat – so I know its not that. And here’s the kicker – at daycare she sits just fine in a chair and eats. So its just with us & her dinner. Little stinker.
So Amelia – I love you baby girl – you give me that smile in the end and it melts my heart. But luckily your dad and I are also stubborn so don’t think you’re going to win. Tonight its daddy’s turn to figure you out – I’ll come home after you’ve eaten and are back on good behavior.
Love, Mom
