Yup, that's me...a poet.
What to do with a wonderful, defiant, sweet, defiant, funny, defiant child? Did I mention she is defiant? I am at the end of my rope with her. She is getting dangerous, maddening and we are all equally frustrated. Especially Julia. Sweet little Julia gets little attention because we are dealing with the monster most of the time. It breaks my heart.
On the bright side...I took the advice of a dear old friend (thanks Jackie Callahan!) and started a star chart. Started upon waking and there was not one fight so far. She got out the door and we are all happy. The prize for 10 starts today??? Ice Cream from the truck at the pool! One of her favorite things to do.
Well, wish up luck. I hate to with away 3 because the wonderful side of 3 really is a wonder to watch. I am simply wishing away the rotten side of 3.
