"big girl"

November 22, 2007~12:32 a.m.

I've had so much fun this week. THis is the first year that we have had the whole week off for Thanksging. I love it. Daughter and I have had so much fun. We have run errands galore, shopped till we dropped, cleaned house, pretend played, cleaned out her playroom and donated toys and clothes to the homel@ss shelter, researched what she would like for Christmas and just had so much fun.
She finally asked to ride her 4 whe@ler. I brought it inside and she promptly sat on it and rode it for the first time. She has only had it for 15 months. It took her long enough to not be afraid. SHe is just growing up so much and maturing now. She promptly ran into the kitchen table with it. THen the sofa, then my expensive bamboo tree. Yikes! WE rode it later outside, only she wouldn't put down her plastic bag of goodies so she kept turning right and running into bushes and the like. She loves it now. Thank goodness. She also likes riding a bike. We borrowed a friends for her to try and that is what she is getting for Dec 25th. Her newest thing the past two days is getting a plastic bag and filling it up with as much stuff as she can, then carrying it around. I guess she is shopping. Today she filled two bags up with all her plastic food and plates from her kitchen area, then she picked up everything she could find in the living room. Later that night Hubby couldn't find the remote. It was in the bags!
She is talking so much more and getting more expressive. She likes to play pretend too, which is a big milestone. She likes to play with her babies and rock them. She is getting so grown up now. She now will walk with me through the store. Holding her hand as we walk inside is so great, the best feeling.
Hubby and I have both had to stand our ground on letting her get away with stuff. This week we have been better, which might lead to the better behavior. She can throw all the fits she wants, but we are not giving in. She is given choices and must choose from those. She is not in power! We hope!
Lately she has wanted a kitk@t before bed and a juiceb0x. I finally said we have to make her sit at her table and eat her snack and then brush her teeth, not start letting her eat in bed. So tonight I put it at her table. She pushed the chair down. I told her that if she chose to push it down, she would not get her snack. She picked it up and sat on the chair and ate her snack. Then we brushed her teeth-to her screaming-and said prayers and went to bed. SHe is falling asleep so fast now in her big girl bed. I'm just so happy and proud of her. My girl is growing up. WE have a lot to be thankful for!
