How do children learn to manipulate at such an early age? I guess it's just part of the sin nature that we're born with. In case you're wondering today is NOT the first time Taylor has manipulated me or attempted to, but today was so far the funniest. The scenario goes a little something like this...
- I put Taylor in her crib for a nap at 2 (first mistake, I waited too long, but we were out and about, then my dear friend Heather who I haven't seen in forever came over for lunch and I let Tay stay up a little late.)
- She proceeded to play and squeal and laugh with the occasional, "Mommy, come get me..." cry.
- Then at about 3:00 I heard her say something about her sleepy sack, which she snuggles with, so I went in there to put it back in her crib because I was 100% sure she'd thrown it out
- I was correct.
- So when I gave it back to her, she requested a different CD to listen to.
- I obliged because I was hoping that would help get her to sleep.
- I then told her that if I had to come back in there I would have to give her spanking, but that I really didn't want to.
- There was a pause and then she said, "I love you sooooo much!" I busted out laughing, as did Heather. She must have been thinking that if she said that I wouldn't keep my word.
- Then she went to sleep, hence the ability to blog. :)

Precious picture. Precious girl. P.S. I thought Sandra Bullock looked like Robyn Villacampa at the Oscar's - she was gorgeous and had your hair!
someone recently suggested a dog kennel for my non-napper. I admit, I did consider it, but only for a second. It is such a relief once they finally fall asleep, but entertaining sometimes to field all the questions.
Precious story and precious picture. Gran

I hate the manipulation but LOVE the picture of you 2.
I love it! She is too funny, but you better watch out for here, she already knows how to get you! :) The picture of you 2 is great!
It must be something about girls, because our eldest is good at manipulation too. We like you, see and pray for God to change her. Great picture of you two!
