I decided to participate in Throwback Thursday on the blog this week. I'm taking you back to a post from November 2008. I have *this* pegged as the start of what we are dealing with today---slamming doors, talking back and generally acting like we are stupid. And she's only SIX! (and yes, she still makes this face)
Buckle up, baby.

The transformation has begun...
This is our sweet little Becca dressed in her
jammies. This is the
good girl who minds us and reads books all day long. This is her sweet
face.
This is Miss Independent Becca. Miss "how-dare-you-tell-me-no." If she doesn't get her way, this is Miss Mean Face. Just try to look at her and not laugh. I dare you.
Oh, dear. It is true. We have somewhat of a drama queen on our hands. She is wanting to do everything by herself already, including use the spoon, which does not have a great outcome--especially with oatmeal and applesauce. The good news is that Becca keeps us laughing most of the time. And, her vocabulary is moving right along. New words: "good girl" (which actually sounds a bit like "doo doo" but who cares), "bath," "meat" and "apple."
I also got the potty out a couple of weeks ago for her to look at. The first few times we sat her on it (clothed even), she had a hissy. But now she will sit on it and smile. Still no potty action, but at least she's not afraid of it.
Sorry it has been so long since we blogged. Had a rough couple of weeks. We'll do better, though. Enjoy the new festive look of the blog. Until next time...
