First off, let me assure you that, to my great relief, Rose was in a MUCH better mood as of Friday evening. She must have just gotten up on the wrong side of the bed on Friday. Uff-dah! Here she was on Saturday morning, about to help me bake muff-mahns (our weekend tradition):
1. She doesn't understand that "anything" is not the same as "nothing" (and "anybody" is not the same as "nobody"). And since "nothing" and "nobody" are completely absent from her vocabulary, this creates some odd conversations like:
me: Rose, what did you do at school today?
Rose: anything!
me: Rose, which pajamas do you want to wear tonight?
Rose: anything!
me: Rose, who else was at your swimming lesson today with miss Lauren?
Rose: anybody!!
She thinks she's messing with us, but she just can't quite pull it off yet.
2. She is completely, absolutely, 100% bull-headed when she thinks she is right. (I don't know where she gets that from!) Remember a few months ago when I blogged about her insistence that a photo of Trula is "not Trula!!!"? Well, now things like this happen on a regular basis. For example, she INSISTS that Anna is Elsa (and Elsa is Anna) in the movie Frozen, and there is absolutely no convincing her otherwise. Similarly, on our "family walk" this afternoon, we saw some birds in the sky. She asked what they were, and I said I thought they might be geese (I didn't get a good look). Mike chimed in that they were actually ducks, and then she yelled at him, "No, daddy, those GEESES!" They then argued (goodnaturedly on his part, vociferously on her part) the rest of the way home about the species of bird we had seen. Sigh.
Have a great week, everyone!
