You know what just occurred to me? This is the first time that I've had a 3 year old without having an infant to care for too. I've always had another baby coming up behind, and now for the first time, I don't.
This lack of a younger sibling has been very hard on Roo. It explains a lot of her negative behavior lately. Like, why she won't let me walk around with her on my hip anymore.
Or why she won't let me feed her.
She's insisting on picking out her own outfits and putting on her own shoes. Can you believe that?
She even has her own opinions about when it's okay for me to land a squishy kiss against her cheeks.
Really, I am just about at my wit's end.
To make things worse, I am pretty sure that we took this picture yesterday:

And then today, she had the nerve to show up looking like this:
What in the world is going on? I think she's playing mind tricks on me, and I don't find it funny.
Not one bit.
Someone? Anyone? Help me, please. I'm in foreign territory here; at a complete loss. Tell me:
What's a mother to do without a baby to baby?
*By the way, if you were going to tell me to have another one, save your breath. Factory is closed, though it's too bad. That factory did put out some pretty cute products.
Hold the babies of everyone you know.
