New Tricks

So, this whole toddler thing...not the joy it could be. All my excitement that she was learning new words and expressions and being able to communicate with us..remember that? Sort of getting dashed in the dirt. Now, truly, if sh just said "NO!" all the time like all the books and other parents warned about, I think i could handle that. But crossing her arms, and defiantly telling me "I don't want to...go away..I Jessica..I mean it!" is just a bit more than i can handle. And really, if it was only occassionally or even on ly once a day, I could probably see my way through it. However, she drops these phrases (usually all at once on me) just about every flipping time i try to get her to do anything. Getting up in the morning, getting dressed, going to daycare, getting in the car, anything at all. Oh, except seeing the fishes. No matter how obstinate the mmod, mention going to see fish and she is right on board.

Yeah, I got to right up the "things no one told me about toddlers" list. She's going on three, how much longer does demonic possesion last and can I get a "Get rid of demon" free card?
