At 20 months, Brooklyn already thinks she can do it all. Once she gets something in her mind, there's no changing it! We went to Target yesterday and I decided to buy her some new shirts. I showed her what I had picked out and she took off her shirt right there and was determined to wear a new one. She even took out her bow! I tried to put her shirt back on and she threw a fit, much to the chagrin of all the mothers passing by. We then went to Michael's and while I was checking out at the register, she was determined to leave. I kept telling her to come back, but she went through the first set of double doors while I was in the middle of paying. She stopped to look at the Halloween decorations and just as I approached her she put her hand in an empty Halloween candy bowl. Suddenly a skeleton hand emerged from the bowl and she ran away screaming! I picked her up and brought her back to show her what it was. I put my hand in the bowl, thinking that seeing it the second time would be funny to her rather than scary. I was wrong! She cried and pulled away as fast as she could. It was hilarious! I decided that maybe next time she'll think twice before going off on her own again...Wishful thinking.Wednesday, September 24, 2008

That is so funny - she is too cute! Those candy bowls still scare my boys! :)
What a little cutie! Isn't is crazy how fast they get a mind of their own and decide that they know best!
She is so fun! I think it's cute how she's so friendly. Thanks for inviting us to the park today! It was a lot of fun!
That is pretty funny!
What a cute family! The kids are all growing up so fast. Glad you found us -- it will be fun to keep in touch this way! I will let Slyck know where you are so he can catch up too.
I can't blame her those candy bowls freak me out too. It is good to be a girl and know what you want. I am sure the frustrating moments will one day pay off and you will be so proud. At least that is what I tell my self.
