| The battle to get dressed |
Lately my dear little girl has started to show us her wilful nature. At just 17 months old she refuses to let me dress her if the outfit is not to her liking he will stiffen her body so that it is quite impossible to dress her. I now have to negotiate with a terrorist, "play outside when dressed". The tantrums at home are one thing what is super fun is when my little miss drops her bundle when we are out in public. I love her screaming as I push the trolley around the supermarket, I love her dropping to ground when it's time to leave or her rolling around when I try to pick her. But what I really really love is the looks that people give you. The rolling of eyes, the quizzical stares, the eyes of disbelief.
Now it is true that not all people will notice your child's noise. Teenagers are to self absorbed, the very old too deaf, other parents with their own kids are just grateful that its not them. The main helpful people are young childless generally women but can be men who look at you thinking 'my child will never behave like that' and older people who have clearly forgotten what it's like to have children. And to these people with their helpful looks, their caring tisks and loving sighs I want to say "thank you". Thank you for helpfulness, thank you helping me feel like a winner in the current battle thank you thank you thank you, you are so very helpful *sarcasm*
