The things she says

This post is honestly just for me to keep record of the funny things Mia says/does.  She is such a character to put it mildly.  And you know what, I wouldn’t trade that child, or her witty personality and spunkiness for anything!!

Over heard in the back seat:
* Mia talking to her 3 year old cousin on the way home from AWANA: “Jazz, say your verse.  God is truthful.”  Jazz: “God is truthful.” Mia:  “Good girl Jazz!!  You get a sticker!”
* Mia again talking to her 3 year old cousin, this time about Meme’s dog Mash:  Jazz: “Is Mass going?”  Mia:  “Jazz, it’s MaSH.  Say it, Mm,Mm, Mm Mash!” (As she is pronouncing like she is an English teacher).  Jazz:  “MASS.” Mia: “No Jazz, say it slower.  Mm,Mm,Mm MaSH!”

Overheard in her room:
*Mia talking to cousin:  “Here baby, lets put your shoes on!”  As she is helping cousin put her shoes on.

I mean really, how am I not supposed to laugh? She is her mother’s daughter :)  She is so stinking bossy and motherly!

For anyone who knows my daughter…

HAHA!

Oh, the STRONG will of my firstborn

I’ve heard other mothers talk about their “strong willed” 3 year old, but my feisty firstborn takes “head strong” to a WHOLE.NEW.LEVEL.  Ok? I’ve been told it’s because she’s 3, or that it’s a stage, or that she takes after me.  Yes, I agree.  She is 3 and yes, she does act very much like her momma, but this girl is even more bull headed than me!
You see, I didn’t have this “strong will” (according to my mother) when I was her age.  I was very much the people pleaser and didn’t want to disappoint anyone.  I was smart enough to stop the bad behavior I was doing to keep from getting into more trouble.  However, Mia?  She would cut her nose off to spite her face!  It’s been so bad sometimes that I was tempted to call her pediatrician and have her evaluated for a behavior disorder.
I just don’t understand, because one day she can be SO sweet and so funny, but the next day she is like a totally different child.  She knows how to push my buttons, and she does it well.  She also knows all those sweet little things to do to get her out of trouble.
When I say I am fearful of the teenage years, that is NOT an understatement!!



Can anyone else relate?  Please.
