Why didn't I take the blue pill
Interesting morning with Aidan this morning. As usual, she didn't want to get up. Then once she got up, she wanted to bring Blankie over and Lay on my Arm with Blankie on top of her to Keep Her Warm. So she did. And the thumb went in the mouth and back to sleep she went. UGH And since I didn't sleep well again I was falling back asleep myself. Ian was down on the floor waking up himself. So I finally get us all up and moving again and Aidan starts in with her new stall, I Want Hugs and Kisses... I Want to Give You Hugs and Kisses... I Want to Give Ian Hugs and Kisses... I Want to Give Minnie Hugs and Kisses... *sigh* So I finally get her to take her shirt and pull-ups off, she's kind of doing the half-sob kind of thing the whole time. Then I get her talked into putting her clothes on. She doesn't want these underpants she wants the Blues Clues underpants. Big Fit. Kicking on the floor, crying, can't understand a word she's saying. Finally I get her to settle down enough to hear her. "I want to be a good girl". So I tell her in my most supportive, positive voice, "You ARE a good girl, sweetie!. You just need to stop throwing a fit so you can get your clothes on." After a couple of these, she starts to get dressed. More half-sobbing. She doesn't want to do it she wants me to do it. So I help her a little bit. Finally she is dressed. Then I go get her shoes and sit down with her to put them on. She is quite calm and quiet and talking during this process. Holding on to Blankie. By this time Ian has been sent off to find his hiking boots. It was pouring rain this morning. I get the shoes on and tied and sit back. She gets up and comes over to me and kneels down in my lap and gives me a big hug and says "I'm sorry I was crying." Good lord and lady. So then I get her all curled up in my arms and tell her how wonderful she is and that she is my good girl and how much I love her and miss her when we're not together and how much I love to play with her and rock with her and give her hugs and kisses... and when I pause, she asks what else, so I say I love to help her write her name and tickle her belly and I do. And she laughs.
