Okay, I know that many of you know me very well (perhaps more than you'd care to know)...and some of you don't know me at all. This is what I love about blogging. I am able to write and open up and completely shed any layers of guilt or nervousness about things that I am struggling with in my life on this blessed blog and if you don't want to read anymore of it you don't have to...but if you do and you have wisdom to encourage or enlighten me with words of scripture or experience...oh how grateful I would be.
One thing (person) in my life is currently making my days really LONG...well she is consistently causing me to blast the name of Satan away from making our day as glorious as it should be! My precious little Doo (gasp!) is the most strong-willed, stubborn, little toot you've ever seen in your life. She may only be 16 months old but she is definitely the attitude, intelligence and wit of a 20+ month old. Don't get me wrong I LOVE that she is strong-willed...I firmly believe that characteristic steered in the direction of the Lord will be one of her greatest attributes, however, currently it sends her to bed without dinner, to time-out and mommy counting to three and giving little pats on the behind more times than I care to count!
We are dealing with a DIVA DIVINE here friends. Those of you who have witnessed this in person can attest to her tactics! haha I have had her (after being scolded) smack my hand away from me, then being scolded again for said smacking, stick her tongue out and thhhppp! in my face! Yes, she did! The little one did not enjoy her punishment and was quite the angel the rest of the night. I am just curious as to WHERE it comes from...and HOW to get rid of it! haha Is there a spray?
I know I haven't spent as much time in prayer about it as I should have--so I may have just answered my question but there must be more than the books I am reading... but I'll admit she is marvelous even when she's being mischievous! Oh how I love and adore that little booger!
Mommies out there with little boogers like my darling, any sage advice is appreciated!
Much love,
~K
I don't have any advice but this post makes me laugh! (Probably not what you wanted to hear, right?) And let me just say that I am not at all surprised - she's always had lots of "personality." ;-)
