The Momma Fish

Today while Lily was taking a bath she was much louder than the TV in the living room. She was playing with her toys and just playing. I asked her to use her inside voice. She cried.

Then in a mommy like voice she said: Lily what is wrong.

Crying Lily: wahhh, mommy is being mean to me.

mommy Lily: it is ok sweetie, you will be alright.

crying Lily: wahh, why is mommy so mean to me?

mommy Lily shouts to me: Lily's mom - Lily's mom - this is not Lily this is the mommy fish - why are you being so mean to Lily? If you cannot be nice you will lose your job. Do you understand.

mommy Lily to crying Lily: It is alright Lily don't cry.

Some days I just don't know what to do with that child.

wow. well, at least she is able to convey her feelings by acting it out with toys.

you're not alone, though. my three year old cried and screamed for an hour this morning because he didn't want to go to preschool after holiday break. they can be difficult little creatures sometimes.
