Lately Ellie has been just full of words that hurt. For example...The other day I called Kev from work to tell him to take chicken out of the freezer. Ellie said she wanted to say HI so he gave her the phone. What does she say to me when she gets on? "Hi Mommy, don't come home, stay away." Hmmm....nice.
Today was worse. I am going to AZ in a few days and wanted to get my hair done first. I got a cut and color which I have to say I LOVE. I got home and Ellie comes up and says, "Mommy, you look ucki-full." My dad, who was there at the time, asked "Don't you mean beautiful?" And Ellie responded, "No, ucki-full. Mommy's hair is ugly and all tangly." Nice.
Now, I know she's only 4, but I have to admit that her words can still hurt me. When Kevin told her to say sorry she did, but only because he wouldn't let her do what she wanted until she said it. When I explained to her how her words hurt my feelings, it really didn't seem to phase her much. I have noticed her attitude towards me getting worse lately. Not towards anyone else, just me. Another of what I call her "Pre-pre-pre teen" phase. Great. I can't wait to hear what she says when puberty actually sets in.
