Yes, that's right. The bloom is off the rose. I will illustrate by relating the following conversation this morning:
Girl Child: [throws her socks up in the air in the kitchen while I have my coffee and NY Times]Me: Don't throw things around in the kitchen.
GC: Why not?
Me: Because the kitchen is probably the most dangerous room in the house.
GC: Why?
Me: Because there are things that could burn you here, things that could cut you, things that you could knock over and . . . [GC walks out]
Wife in dining room: What was Pappa saying to you?
GC to wife: I don't know, something about the kitchen. [tone, according to my wife, like a 13 year old]
Remember, she just turned four. I am so screwed.

Posted by: Amber at March 14, 2005 11:41 AMYeah... I feel the exact same, yesterday my 2 year old told me he doesn't like me anymore, because I turned off his Thomas the Train DVD. Of course the grudge only lasted about 15 minutes, but still...

Posted by: Rachel Ann at March 15, 2005 04:01 AMMaybe you're just getting it now and she'll be over it by then? :)
What if the second one is just as "spunky"? Then you'll really have your hands full! :)
