Who taught her that??

Just like any child, our daughter has proved to be a one of a kind. She may only be 14 months old, but has a mind of her own, with ideas that I KNOW I didn't teach her. Very different from her brother in that she is driven with a drama button. When you take something from her, or she wants something so badly, she throws herself on the floor and plants her face in the floor, crying all the way.

She can't eat without requiring a bath afterwards. It doesn't matter what she's eating, she will make the most un-messy lunch, messy. Grilled cheese gets smooshed into her shirt or down between her shirt and skin. Granola bar or Nutri-grain bar gets rolled into her hair. And anything that is the slight bit "wet" is ALL over her face and hair. Don't get me started on things like spaghetti and the like.

She gets her fingers stuck in EVERYTHING! Drawers, books, Grocery Carts. Everywhere. And it always is accompanied by a fussing and then a loud scream and cry. Then I realize that she's got her fingers stuck somewhere.

She is so unlike what our little boy is, and yet so unlike what my perception of what our "little girl" would be. All the same, her smile brightens a room and her squeal is full of delight!
