Sassy

We are working on finding the new normal at the Darowski house. Adam compares the experience of having a new baby to living in a snow globe that has just been shaken up. We are still waiting to see how everything will settle. Besides having a new baby we are also dealing with our sweet three year old daughter. Three year old girls are new to us and I'm trying to figure out how to live peaceably with them. I'm going to wait another month on the potty training- I can get her to sit on the potty once a day and maybe even have success on it, but I just can't deal with all of her resistance right now. She seems to want to run the show. The following experience will demonstrae how much she thinks she's in charge. This week I've been out and about with three children for the first time. Luckily, Samantha is pretty laid back so I can use all my energy to deal with my super powered three year old. We went to the Dr.'s to get my allergy shot. After my shot the receptionist usually gives Caroline a sticker, but this week no sticker was good enough for Caroline, not even the iconic Dora, not a Disney Princess, not anything. Caroline was crying and whining and finally she was happy with a puppy dog sticker. I was embarassed and wish I would have had the energy to drag her out of the Dr.'s office without a sticker. When we got out to the car I told Caroline that I was very disappointed in how she acted. We don't cry and whine when someone is giving us something. She looked at me and said with all seriousness, "Mom, don't worry about it." Where did she learn that? Here are some pictures of my "Sassy" three year old.
