I just cannot believe how much time has been speeding along. It seems as though I was just getting out summer togs and now I'm getting out the winter woolies. Of course, here that could just mean a matter of minutes has passed but I find things just a bit more final when clothes actually go into the old Rubbermaid containers.. Another shipment of donation baby things has been loaded into the van, too, so that feels just a bit more permanent when speaking of season changing.
The girls are changing a lot this month as well. It's nice to hear 'please' and 'thank you' come non-chalantly out of Kyra's mouth, after years of DRILLING them into her. She seems also to be calming down in the 'hairy fit' department as well. I still see her having a hard time with us saying 'no' to her on certain requests - this is the typical procedure to begin the hairy fit...
K: "Can I have MY T.V.?" (eyelash batting included here)
Me: "No."
K: "YES!!!" (brows knit together, lip pouts)
Me: "No."
Evil K: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" (head spins around)
I can stay calm for all this, as I know it's coming now. Some days are better than others, tho'.. As for little Noelle, who can predict what behaviour arises from her??! One minute she's calmly petting the dog and the next minute she's climbing into the dryer! She has been on a voyage of self-discovery though, and dressing one's self is at the top of the list. Keeps us all amused...
