Wow, what a day. Just to clarify I do take some credit for Brooklyn's bad attitude and the things I am about to tell you. I made an early appointment and had to wake her up, plus she didn't get a decent nap today.
When we woke her up this morning Zach was trying to get her dressed. The conversation went a lot like this....
Z: Ok let's get your jammies off so we can get ready to go
B:DON'T TOUCH ME
Z:We have to get ready though.
B:GET OUT OF MY ROOM
Z: Can I have a hug first?
B: YES
and then he walked out to apease her.
Later in the day after Zach went to work we were headed over to my mom's house to visit (Rach and Esi were there) and she had a complete come apart about leaving the house. I couldn't even get her jacket or shoes on. She kept screaming, "LET ME GO!" So I grabbed her and all of her stuff and took her to the car with out her shoes on, with out a jacket, and with all neighbors wondering if I was going to beat her. I get her in the car and she hit me! I was so mad, but I kept my cool and explained that she will not hit me and I swatted her bottom (with no aparent affect).
At five o'clock Jamie had her science fair and asked us to come and see her project/board. So we packed up and got ready to leave. Jade rode with us but when Brooklyn saw that Esi got to ride with grandma she had another melt down. I was actually kind of sad for her because she didn't understand that we were all going to the same place and that it was ok. She was literally sobbing. That's when Jade interfered to tell her it was ok, and Brooklyn smacked her.
Then we get to the science fair and holy crow it was SOOOOOOO loud. We went and saw Jamie's board and a few of her friend's and Brooklyn and I booked it out to the commons area to wait. While we were sitting out there Brooklyn made a friend. I'm not trying to be judgemental but this little girl was weird. She had pony tails all over her head, her clothes didn't match, she was wearing snow boots, and to top it off her mother completely ignored her so she was in my face (seriouly 3 inches away) everytime she had something to say. Oh and to top it off she was six years old and Brooklyn is two. So they played for about 40 minutes while we waited with my mom for jamie to be done. Brooklyn even introduced her to me it went a little like this...
B: (talking to this girl) This is my momma
Me: Hi
B: momma this is Autumn
and they ran off with each other.
When it was time to leave Brooklyn threw the WORST fit I have ever witnessed in my life. Back arched, hand flying, and mouth open with terrible screeches coming out. So I gave in, bad idea, and let her have 5 more minutes. Again we told Autumn good bye and I grabbed her and started to say good bye to everyone. She was being so naughty that I asked her if she wanted to go live with Rachel and she said, "yes, where is she?" Can you believe it?? I was shocked.
Anyways.... We were headed to the car and she was still flailing her arms and legs and arching her back and all and embarrassing the crap out of me when I hear, "Brittany?"
Great, some one identified me with my stinker of a two year old... Then I realized it was a co worker who has six kids of her own and could totally relate. She assured me it was not the worst fit she had ever seen and that she too had recently been humiliated by her three year old.
I wanted to cry.
I hate these hormones!
We made it to the car and two minutes after I strapped her in she was asleep.
Oh boy what a terrible two day! Good thing she is cute or I would seriously consider sending her back with the stork when he brings the new baby!
