oh the trials and tribulations of parenthood!

Sofia had a few hard days.

On Tuesday, it all came to a head, and Kent and I really had to crack down on her whineys and back-talking. We think she is really trying to figure out where she has power in the family. The poor girl had many consequences. First, she lost her bedtime stories. Then, she lost her playtime with the next-door neighbor. I was seriously wondering if leaving your child in her room for the rest of the day was OK, because I was exhausted!

Wednesday was a complete turn-around!

Today (Thursday) she warmed my heart at bedtime, when she looked at me with puppy-dog eyes, and said, "we're friends, mommy!". Ahhhhhhhh, yes, Sofia, we're friends. After all of that, we are friends.
