little bit while

I  have one amazing 3 year old.  She is kind to strangers, has manners, gets her feelings hurt at the playground, and is complimentary to her counter parts.  Loves sceaming when she spots a plane in the sky, and can hear a train 3 miles away.  Tries all kinds of new food and for no  particular reason at all tells me and her dad that she loves us.  So why in the hell do I mention to people that she was not much of a sleeper when she was a baby, or why do I wish she would still nap everyday.   Or why when  strangers tell me what a great kid she is don't I just say "yes"   because if I recall I usually tell people I hardly know that toy time is out of control at our house...or I tell people of her love for the word no,  or I say she is not so great when she is taking 2 hours to put on her jammers.   I suck right now for this....and I really and not wanting other mothers to make me feel better by exchanging 3 year old behaviors stories...but it would be fun....I think I am a better mom because she was up every 90 minutes on the dot for a long time....if she takes a nap these days she might miss something......its fun for her to run around naked from us with her pj's in our hanks....and she likes telling me no...she is getting her voice.....I am on her team...I love her for whatever

The three year old that I spend roughly 22 hours a day with has been a little stinker lately.   Not to worry she is totally normal...but what about me?  I mumble stuff to myself that I cant say to her face...like ya  I know you want cereal you mentioned it 14 times in the last 30 seco nds.   oh and big shocker you don't want to brush you teeth, and really pajamas are out of the question for at least an hour after the bath.   Im convinced I am raising the biggest stinker of em all.....but really she is just trying to get in sync with her little body changes.  I am going to try and divert her moods with legos I guess because the fun bonus will be to step on one while on my way to get a drink of milk  Alone
