We tell Ella that when Cooper gets alittle older he’ll go to preschool. Just a bit ago we were talking about what Ella is going to bring for Show & Tell… she looks at me and said “When you get older you’ll go to preschool. I’ll share my puppy (her show & tell item) with you Mommy”!”
Again innocence of a child…in her eyes I am not 32 years older than her. I am simply her Mommy!

Cooper handed me a block but it kinda turned into more of a toss and accidently hit Ella.
Ella turns to Cooper and with her pointer finger pointing wildly she informs him that he does not throw toys and if he does it again he’ll go to TIMEOUT.
I love how she is ready to abide the rules when Cooper is in the wrong but will manage to forget the rule applies to her too!

On the drive home from my parents house…. Ella requested her blanket 104 times! Yes, I counted!!!!
I wanted to A) see how many times she’d say “I want it” and B) it was a simple way in which to keep myself sane while her voice elevated!
She gave up at the end of our street and gave one final “I WANT IT” as we pulled into the driveway!

Playing with Ella’s Fairy Minnie…. She asked me which color wand I’d like. I tell her and she says, no purple. This happened over and over again. I looked at her and asked her why she was giving me a choice if she wasn’t allowing me to have my selection. Good opportunity for a teach/learn 🙂

Ella is absent from school today because I had to stand my ground. It seems that ever since Show & Tell started the first week in January, Ella feels she can bring everything to preschool.
Today she insisted on bringing her play phone along with Coopers into class. I told her the phones needed to stay in her coat pocket until school was over. She threw a huge fit screaming and crying that I ended up giving her the choice of keeping the phones in her coat pocket or going home and not being part of preschool today.
In the end Ella chose no school. I took the phones from her and told her she wont be getting them back until Thursday.
I know I as the parent should not have permitted her to bring the phones in the first place. Up until today she would keep said toy of choice in my car but today insisted on bringing them in.
I have decided on preschool days no toys other then the Show & Tell toy will leave the house.
Parenting….rewarding but the hardest job!
