Maren is currently wearing capri pants and at t-shirt ... as a punishment.
Yes, you read that correctly. Punishment.
See... Maren HATES to wear pants of any kind. The ONLY time I can get her in pants of any kind is if it's worn with a dress or tunic top that "looks like a dress".
Today... she stood in front of me and purposefully colored on her dress with green crayon. A time out just didn't seem to be the right thing .. and they don't seem to be making much of an impact these days. So... in a flash of what I like to call "mommy genius", I marched her upstairs had her remove the assaulted dress and told her I would be choosing what she wore for the rest of the day ... and it would involve PANTS!
She tried to tell me "NO!" ...but quickly realized resistance was futile.
On the way back down stairs she informed me "I'm NOT happy about this". LOL I told her I wasn't happy about her choice to color on her dress. She then gave me "the look". *giggle* I can't help but giggle a little.... and then that giggle quickly turns to a frown as I realize....
WE HAVEN'T EVEN HIT PUBERTY YET!!!!!
I think I'm going to need strong medication in about 10 years.
