My little Allie can be so spunky and sassy at times. Today was one of those days that I just about lost my patience with her about a dozen times. It seems that when she is in one of her spicy moods, anything that I say or do is just not right with her. She snips and screams at me and shows her dissatisfaction in many not so charming ways. I think part of it is jealousy and part of it is her short temper and lack of patience.
This afternoon she wanted to bike to the park and wear her pink paton shoes that are too small for her. I proceeded to tell her many times that her shoes were too small and her toes would hurt in them but she insisted on wearing them. At one point she was so mad at me she took her shoe and threw it as hard as she could across the room. We biked to the park and when it was time to leave the park and bike home, she got so mad at me because her toes hurt from her shoes. I tried to tell her I told her so but she just snipped at me even more. We made it home, after much arguing, and she had about 5 more snippy fits the rest of the day. But what made my day, and it must be my angels looking down on me, is when it was time to put her in bed, she looked at me and said, "Mommy, tomorrow morning I want to make you a special breakfast and give you a special cracker, just for you." And then she told me, "Mommy my new favorite color is yellow because it is your favorite color too." I sometimes can get so caught up in the negative part of my day that it takes a few special words to make me feel like a million bucks. I love you Allie and thank you for making my bad day end on such a special note.
