With my daughter, "no" was like the Eskimo words for "snow" as all the NO's were different. It took SO long for her to use the word yes.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, we are going thru the cry at every little thing stage in my house, and it's hard.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858816944010140107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-53839608137076362352008-01-14T11:42:00.000-08:002008-01-14T11:42:00.000-08:00You take wonderful pictures!

And I love her lip-print smock! My Lu -- Lu2 -- hasn't hit the possessive stage yet but she does get quite bratty at meals, looking me straight in the eye and throwing her food on the floor. Drives me nuts...but that's what dogs are for, I guess.mamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262845008335534197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-44374702998097020562008-01-14T07:32:00.000-08:002008-01-14T07:32:00.000-08:00Ooooohhhhh, I think Petunia is going to follow in ...Ooooohhhhh, I think Petunia is going to follow in Lucy's footsteps on this one. Talk about opinionated! Geez!<BR/><BR/>Well, when you find something that works for her, please let me know so I can try it at my house. <BR/><BR/>I keep telling myself that I'm really happy Petunia's opinionated and independent and knows what she wants. Sometimes, though, it makes me nuts. Good luck -- keep us posted.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829876092950262085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-64672527351984623622008-01-13T19:24:00.000-08:002008-01-13T19:24:00.000-08:00Here's a little parenting secret that NO book or o...Here's a little parenting secret that NO book or other parent will tell you but I will be the brave one! NONE OF IT MATTERS! Wanna know what I do when Addy acts bratty? I crack the heck up! LOL I was soooo serious about the awful behavior when Dalton was little but I think you eventually learn that no matter HOW you handle it - whether you do nothing, distract, do time-outs, get mad, or crack up....they still outgrow it at about the same pace. <BR/><BR/>So try not to fall into that trap of feeling like you will ruin her forever if you don't figure out how to reign in her attitude now. You won't ever figure it out and you won't ever ruin her! You are a great mama! And it will pass and be replaced with other obnoxious things that you also won't be able to fix or change despite what all the books make you think! haha.Stepping on Legoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751088962848259310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-24672613313207892182008-01-13T19:17:00.000-08:002008-01-13T19:17:00.000-08:00Oh god, now you know how I feel.

We don't have no yet (I have no idea why!) but we have hitting, pushing, hair pulling, biting, possessive behaiour all the time and it stinks. There is nothing you can do but tell them no, distract them, move them from the situation and hope they grow out of it quickly. I mean my girls have to share all the time and they know that and they still do it. It is a phase, it will pass but it SUCKS!<BR/><BR/>And we just went down and used our present from the in-laws to frame our painting from Viet Nam, yeah it costs alot, I still have 5 more things to frame, we did a bunch last year and it cost an arm and a leg. I can't wait for pics of yours, I will post one of ours as well....<BR/><BR/>Come on Em's I600!!!! I think everyone in the Vietnamese adoption community is pulling for her!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556769238466112740noreply@blogger.com
