I thought that once the baseball season ended--which, by the way it ended weeks ago--that I would have more time alone and more help with Presley. Yeah, not the case. Adam has been gone more than he was during the season, it seems. He's been gone a lot to recruit for next season and most of the time it's for a few days. That leaves me with the Drama Baby and OH MY GLORY has she really lived up to the name lately!
I thought we were finally nearing the end of this "phase" of Presley's life but if you know anything about toddlers then you know they like to throw you a curve ball JUST when you think you've figured them out!
Sometimes I feel like a broken record because all I do is say,"No, Presley!"..."Presley, please stop!"..."Presley, if I have to ask you again you're going to time out!"..."Do I need to get my spanking spoon?"
Yeah, about the spanking spoon. Homegirl ain't scared of it. I ask her if I need to get it out (when she is misbehaving) and she says,"SURE!" And then she will stand up and basically stick her leg out so I can spank her.

Such a massachicst, that girl.
And then there's Time Out. We make her put her nose in the corner since that's how they discipline at school. She doesn't put up a fight when I tell her to go to time out and she will stand there and keep her nose in the corner. I only make her stay there for about 1-2 minutes and before she gets out she has to tell me she's sorry and give me a hug and kiss. That normally keeps her in check for a while so we've been doing more time outs than we have been spanking.
Funny story- I was getting ready for work one day and went out to get her ready but I couldn't find her! I walked around the corner and there she was--standing in the time out corner! I assumed she did something bad and just took matters into her own hands:)
Parenting: NAILED IT!
I do feel like she is a little sassier when Adam is home. I think that's normal though. Right? Kids are weird.
Anywho, so there's the invitation to my pity party. If you're a parent to a drama baby like mine please make me feel better by telling me how your child is 21387487324 times worse than mine :-)
Don't forget tomorrow is Trendy Tot Tuesday!
When Gabe doesn't get his way he immediately falls on the floor as if he is in prayer with his head on the ground...no matter the surface. I also don't have a cell phone because he says its his. He was just supposed to be in bed when I hear him at the baby gate say,"Mine phone."
