So as we all know there are things that I like to call "Marley-isms". This is the first Marley-ism post for this blog... I'm sad to report she has not outgrown this stage.
On this particular day when Marley chose her "moment" I was actually being a good mom. And what I mean by that is I was helping big brother with his homework rather then reading, blogging, emailing, surfing the net, talking on the phone, or watching some lame show on tv.
When I am giving my attention to other things (usually the things listed above) Marley finds her own form of entertainment. Usually by cutting her own hair, playing in my makeup, or just getting into things she shouldn't.
On this particular day she got into the vaseline and caladryl lotion. Emma and little Tinkerbell (our pup) took the hit. I was so mad! Both of these little things need bathes, not to mention my house smelled strongly of caladryl lotion.
Putting Marley in her room doesn't work because she just plays and honestly that's where I sent her when she got into trouble in the first place so I wasn't bound to send her back. And next putting her in timeout doesn't do her much good. Nothing works with this child!!
So her form of punishment this particular day was to write her name, ABC's and her numbers...
... and she was an angel. Come to find out all this little darling needed was mommas attention. I was most impressed by her numbers - they're all facing the right way. So impressive!!
I love you Marley!!
She is precious! I don't care what you say! But there's no doubt about the attitude and fighting for ALL of your attention.
