Sweetness and Light? Not quite.

Blogs like this are a bit misleading. I mean, yes, Audrey does and says cute stuff a lot of the time, and she is a joy and we love her like pigs love... the other pigs they are related to. But there are days...

In this video Scott has to really work for the giggles he gets out of Audrey; both before and after this was filmed she was tired, angry and whining because it was time for her to go to bed. And we love her still.

I am posting this for the sake of balance. Being relentlessly sunshiney about parenting makes children seem more like cartoons than real people. Toddlers are allowed their bad days. And to be perfectly honest, it's when Audrey is not on her best behavior that I see myself in her the most. May we both be forgiven for being impatient, ocassionally bossy, and often times incorrigible.
