OH MY!

So I finally realized today that Jaci fully understands that she is NOT supposed to throw her food on the floor. After 3 times of stopping her hand and putting it back on the high chair tray while saying "No No...we do not throw our food!" she continued to look at me while repeating "Na Na" and again throwing her food on the floor. AT which point I spatted her little hand (for the very first time I might add...so sad) with a stern look and again a "NO NO"...she looked up at me with those big blue eyes and started cracking up. How could I not laugh? That wasn't the reaction I was expecting!
I tried to hold it together and tell her again...trying it in a sterner voice and a more motherly facial expression (come on - you all know the one) I said "NO NO we do not throw our food!" SHE BLEW ME A KISS and smiled really big! "OH MY...is all I have to say about this!!!

Boy are you in for it! Either you are just not "stern" enough (I'm pretty sure you are) or she is as stubborn as Michael was...I think it might be the latter!

Well, you know....I have heard too many Young Michael Cooper stories that would lead me to believe that might be the case! :) Love you!
