Whatever Mommy

This week Layla has learned some new things. I'm not sure what I think about some of them. Is she old enough to be sarcastic or sassy? I'll let you all decide. Here's an example.

Me: Layla, do you want to go eat at Pizza Village?
Layla: I go eat Pizza Billage wif Mimi.
Me: I'll call Mimi and see if she wants to eat with us, ok.
Layla: Ok.
Me: Go get your shoes so we can get ready to go.
Layla: Whateva Mommy.

Today while we were out at Pizza Village with Nana, Mimi and Nicole we were eating and chatting. My mom (Nana) told Layla that she liked her new haircut and Layla's reply...you guessed it! Whateva Nana!

On to another popular term for Layla. Doo-Doo. She will walk around and say Hey Doo-Doo, in this sweet little voice. After being told several times that it isn't nice to say that and being in time-out, if she says it and knows she's been heard, she immediatly apoligizes and puts herself in time-out.

That's not it! For the past two days she's been calling Chance a piece of crap. What in the world? Yesterday while they were outside playing she called him this serveral times. She was corrected and put in time-out. Today while they were getting ready to go outside as I was zipping Layla's jacket, she said Layla not call Chance a piece of crap Mommy? I told her no that that wasn't nice and if she did say that I was going to wash her mouth out with soap. I caught her stopping herself several times from saying that and was so proud of her. However, tonight as I was cooking, Chance was in his room minding his own business and I heard Layla as she was standing at his bedroom door say....Chance you are a piece of crap. Oh that was it. I said Layla, come here. She knew what was going to happen so she ran to Chance and said I'm sorry then proceeded to put herself in time-out. I told her again to come to me and she doesn't move. Once again I told her to get up and come to me and she stands up, covers her eyes and tells me she's lost (another new thing). Well, I go get her and take her to the kitchen where I put soap in her mouth and tell her that calling names isn't nice. She handled it better than I thought. She said I'm sorry Mommy!

Chance had another wonderful day at school and please be in prayer for us this weekend. We have to build a Leprechaun Trap for school. I'm not sure I know what I'm doing, but I'm sure that Chance will tell me if it isn't right.

From the new things that Layla comes up with to Leprechaun Traps, this weekend should be GREAT!!! Oh yeah...I almost forgot, my brother gets to come home this weekend so that will just add to the fun!!

Until next time, we love you all and God Bless!!!
