A small glimpse

into my future! So I recently had my first confrontation with my 6 month old daughter ...seriously!! She is really challenging me these days. We have spoiled her rotten in her short life and are already paying for it. She wants me to hold her ALL the time. She has to see me, hear me and touch me always! She has major meltdowns. Here is the setting: I was home alone, Daddy was out having "Man Time" with his Dad, so I did the nighttime ritual all by myself! I fed them dinner, sweet potatoes and bananas, which is very challenging these days. Brynlee is such a good eater, but needs a bite in her mouth at all times...cannot feed her fast enough. And Chance has no interest in eating, so I have to force bites in his mouth. Needless to say, the waiting between B's bites and C's bites caused Brynlee to have a complete meltdown. After that struggle, I finally got them both fed, wiped down and ready for baths. All while the child is screaming and every once in a while causing her brother to let out a scream or two. Since I am home alone and cannot leave one of them alone while bathing the other, I have to try and figure how to get them both in the bath. Not comfortable with that yet, I decide to get out our travel swing and put B in the swing in the bathroom with me while I bath Chance. She is screaming this whole time and I just completely ignore her and give Chance my undivided attention. I bath him, my happy little man, and get him ready for their last bottle and bedtime. Meanwhile, Brynlee is in her swing screaming her head off and has just about thrown herself out of the swing. I continue to ignore her and do the whole "Tough Love" thing until I am ready to bath her. I pick her up and she settles down a little bit, but is still VERY upset. I lay her on the bathroom counter to get her undressed and she stops crying and is looking above her head, staring at me in the mirror. I notice her staring and so I start staring back at her. She does not move, blink, look away or even move her eyeballs. So I decide to give her a nasty look through the mirror to see her reaction. She flips out!!! Screaming!! I mean crying like I had just ripped her heart out. Poor Baby!!! I had just hurt her feelings. It was so funny and so sad at the same time!!! Of course I felt bad, picked her up, hugged her and told her I was sorry, but that she was being a demon child to her Mommy. It was so funny!!! I just had to share this story! I am planning to print this out one day and give all of these memories to my babies, so I had to include this story!!! A total glimpse into my future!
