"I can't wait to become an adult, because grown-ups get to make the kids do all the work while they sit and read a book"
Meagan had disobeyed and I doled out a punishment. She began arguing with me that she really HAD obeyed (in her own way) and I insisted that it was indeed disobedience. She then burst into tears and said,
"Wait! Mom! You don't KNOW me!"
What she was probably trying to say was 'you don't UNDERSTAND me', but isn't the pre-teen drama thing starting a little early?
NiNi is into ordering us around. I think it stems from when she was sick and we would bring her things while she laid on the couch. The other day she was parked in front of the TV and wanted her lovey (blanket).
NiNi: "I want lovey"
Me: "It's on your bed, you can go get it"
NiNi: "YOU get it"
Me: "No, you can go get it"
(pause, while she explores her options...)
NiNi: "Meagan get it!"
This was especially funny to me because I had never heard her call Meagan by her real name.

Multi-tasking...
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil (sort of)
Playing hospital. (By the way, NiNi sat still for a record amount of time. She loves being 'fussed over'...go figure)
Meagan masters the monkey bars
