SASSY

I would say that within this past week Mimi has become a smidgen sassy especially with mom. Maybe because we're together most of the time. This evening no sooner than when Blake and Zoe left to go home, Mimi smacked Ollie with a dvd cover. Not hard but none the less a smack. As a result she was sent to her "time out sofa" and proceeded with a meltdown. When she gets mad she likes to turn her nose up, say "humph!" and hit so she will hit the sofa. Mom then took her outside to sit on the front porch step and told her that she could hit the step as much as she wanted too. She did not want to and so back inside we went. We then sat down and had a discussion as we always do in these cases. Mimi then went to Ollie and appologized with hugs and kisses. As soon as dad arrived home and he read Mimi a bedtime story, he and mom sat in the office while mom told him all about the events of the day. As soon as mom got to the part of Mimi's sassiness, she could hear Mimi outside the door listening in on our conversation so mom called her in and she jumped into mom lap. Mom then proceeded to tell dad the story only to have Mimi say "Mom, can you pause it? I have to go pee." While Mimi was on the toilet mom started to talk to dad only to hear Mimi yelling from the bathroom "No! PAUSE IT!" When she was done she jumped back onto mom's lap and says "OK, now you can play it". Together we told dad of Mimi sassiness today. Apparently something is going on with the kindergarteners at school cause Janet tells mom that Erin has been quite sassy lately too. Hopefully this to shall pass at least for a while.
