27Sept2008: Day 125: Drama Queen

Well, unfortunately Chris didn't come from his business trip until tonight so no sight-seeing adventures for today. Makenna and I just went down to the park down the road for a bit. It was a nice day but at 11am, the slides were still wet and caked with leaves and other odds and ends. So she mostly went on the swing.

We are definitely getting a little drama queen on our hands. She will do various whines and cries to get to our sympathies, especially when she's trying to get out of something - mostly trouble. She has now also added various areas of pain that she's usually inflicted on herself to play to our condolences. She is always hurting her finger in some manner. Usually by accidentally biting it when she's putting food in her mouth. So then you here "finger, finger" in a whiny tone. I finally said today, "I'm surprised you have any fingers left". That seemed to stop her for a moment. She still also bangs her head on things or things on her head. I was hoping that she'd have grown out of that already but it seems to have increased.

She was certainly very excited to see her daddy. She was literally screaming with glee when he got home. She had asked about him all week, mostly at night. They got to play together, and work on flashcards. He got to see how her vocabulary has grown in just 5 days. He even thinks she looks different. He can see that her temperament hasn't changed when she wants something. She certainly tries to exert her will.
