I have come to the conclusion as of late that Ellie is actually a teenager trapped in a 4 year olds body. I'm not really sure how this happened, but really it's the only explanation I have as to why she has been acting so snobby lately. Though I know I am strong willed, I like to think that I am not a particularly snobby person. Yet here is my little girl, talking to me like I remember talking to my mom. When I was 16.
I wish I could post a picture or video of her when she's in the middle of a 'tude. It's not just what she says, but how she says it. When she stands in front of me, hands on hips, eyes rolled, I am not sure whether to scold her or to laugh out loud. She looks so comical, trying to be all grown up and tough. I did notice that this new attitude began when she started school, so I am wondering if there is some influence there. It's either that or she is getting up late at night to watch MTV.
All I can think is Lord help me if I have to go through this for the next 14 years straight. Well, it will be Kevin that will really need the help. He loves his girls...but I don't see how he is going to deal with 5 having their periods at once if he can't handle the sarcasm of his 4 year old. Oh boy.

Oh we're right there with you - and Grace is only 19 months old. Sometimes I look at her like "WHO ARE YOU?"
