Maybe if I say it 100 more times, I might actually gather enough to get through today.
Yes, I am having one of those days. A day when nothing seems to make Miss Emma happy. She is so out of sorts, it’s making me out of sorts. I sure hope it’s teeth because it’s too early for those terrible twos to be hitting, isn’t it?
Case in point: We MUST read the same book (“boop”) a hundred times over and over again. Don’t even THINK about another book or Emma’s evil twin will roll around the floor as if her life has completely ended.
And what? You want to put food INSIDE her plastic bowl at lunchtime? Oh no, you must let her turn it over so that you put the food ON TOP of her now upside-down bowl. Refuse and the fork will end up in your eye.
Basically, it’s her way or the cryway today.
Now I know all about picking your battles and distraction, but oh my word, this is nuts. Yes, she has an ear infection and a cold, but she’s been on meds since last Friday and does not have a fever. The boogies have been clear the whole time, so maybe it really is teeth.
Yes, that must be it.
Say it with me now: It’s the teeth; it’s the teeth; it’s the teeth…
