Kiera Quotes

In nursery, to Lynn, because she was getting tired and ready for mom to come get her:
"My mommy's crying."
Lynn: Why do you say that?
K: Cause she misses me.

To me, after I cleaned the ashes out of the pellet stove, with soot all over my arms:
"Bad mommy! You go wash your hands in my sink right now!"

Prior to going potty:
"I go poop for candies!" (Poop means pee, I just think she likes saying it better...)

Gabe and I were talking last night about the trouble I have with disciplining Kiera. I know this isn't necessarily what moms are supposed to say, especially when I can see right through her act, but I let her cuteness get to me. She puts on her cheesy grin, wags her head from side to side, and gets away with murder. Bad Mommy, I know! I need to be more consistent, because after each day of her not obeying, my patience is really thin. If I handled situations properly starting right off every morning, this would improve greatly. The one consistency? Everyone else thinks she's the cutest thing ever too, so her magic works on everybody :-) Is this a second child thing? Or just a young manipulator thing? ;-) Or a tired, distracted mommy thing?
