Logical guilt

So Kelsea went camping with her grandparents this past weekend. My husband's parents. We are working hard on fostering independence in her- IE staying in her own bed so I can stop being awakened every few hours by random kicks and punches. Cory told his parents this new "rule."
Kelsea woke at her normal morning hour of ohcomeonisitreally6already and asked to get in the bed with her Grandma. She told her no- she had to stay in her own bed because Mom and Dad said she had to(way to use POSITIVE reinforcement). Next, Kelsea asked for her normal morning cup of coffee aka her fiber bar. Grandma told her no -it was too early (she usually gets one herself).
So then Kelsea said to her 'Gramma, how would YOU feel if you were 3 years old and you asked someone for a fiber bar and THEY would not give it to you?"
You can bet Gramma got her that fiber bar after all.

I never would have thoght of it that way.

We are actively looking for a new set of sheets for Kelsea's bed. Nana wants to buy them for her for her birthday- and of course- they must have deer on them. It is more difficult than you might think.The main choices out there really just drags me back into redneck hell... but I did find a set that looked more lodge inspired AND had deer moose and bears. I showed them to her.She looked at me and said "Mama! I don't want sheets with bears and deer on them.Bears kill deer.I don't want sad sheets!"

a stage production in her own head

She makes me laugh. Even at 8 am.
Devin and I were sitting in my room trying to find specific socks from the nightmare I call the sock basket(that has BTW morphed into 2 baskets) when Kelsea opened the door and in a very dramatic voice said "She BURSTS through the door"

Her job in this life

Kelsea and I were waiting for our appointment time to visit a preschool. She was looking at the playground and asked me- "Why aren't there any deer?"
I said "Maybe they don't understand the importance of deer.
She said very seriously, "Oh I will have to teach them."
