Stubborn Susie

Susie has quite the stubborn personality. This morning, when E was still asleep, she sat in his chair and thought she was SO special. But this evening at dinnertime, she pitched a FIT when she had to sit in her chair again. Life is rough!

Mama vs. Mommy

I've been trying to get E to call me "Mommy." He calls Cam "Daddy," but calls me "Mama." I don't really mind mama, but we call my Grandma "MawMaw" so I don't want him to be confused.

Well, he's definitely my child. He refuses. If I say Mom-MY, he says Ma-MA. He'll even use the same tone and mock me. We've been battling for months. It's more of a game than anything now! He knows he's being cheeky.

You'll notice in the video that he's also learned to avoid the camera. Cam had to hold him so I could get the video!

Mr. I'll-do-it-myself

I've been told I'm stubborn. So it's only right that E is the same way. Today he wanted to show off his big boy skills. It was raining and he was nervous to go out in it, but when daddy tried to take his hand he ran out there all on his own and started splashing in puddles. Then, at the Mexican restaurant he insisted on dipping his own chips in the salsa. This was a first (a very messy first!). I'm sure my parents are reading this and laughing. This is just the beginning of many stubborn showdowns!
