Cute Things Kids Say - Part 2 "The Backfire"

So, a couple of posts ago, we talked Sasha into not getting up until it was 7:00am or at least to stay in her room until then. Well, today that backfired - she slept in. Since it was passed 8:00am, "Daddy, no seben my clock!" She was determined to staying in her bed until there was a seven (not just a seven on the clock, but a seven on the left side - where it is supposed to be). I tried to explain that it is ok to get up anytime after seven and that seven had already come and gone. Eight comes after seven so it is ok to get up, but she didn't buy it; her clock had to have that seven on the left side.

Solution? yep, you guessed it. We changed the time on her clock so that it was just a few minutes before 7am and we let her wait until the clock turned over. Then she was so happy to come eat breakfast with us (even though it was actually 9am).

She is so cute but so very assertive! If it is not the way she thinks it is supposed to be, then it is wrong. That is the way it seems. She is so so very smart though and we love her so much. Thank you Sasha for making our life so interesting and so much fun!

That is so funny. I wish Marshall would do that. Somehow when he comes in and wants to snuggle at 6AM it's not as cute as it could be. (I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact I am 9 months pregnant & my belly is in his way). =)
