For my two year old to be THIS hyper and dramatic!? Oh my goodness! I don't know if I am more tired or if she is getting more hyper but she has been crazy lately. I have really tried hard to be a good mom and have said many prayers throughout the day asking for patience but bless her little heart...she is driving me crazy!!
We spent some of last night and today making a few Christmas treats to take around to people. I had some great visions in my head and it didn't turn out as expected but as Beth said to me last night..."Christmas will still come and go even if I don't get my treats made." I decided I would try to be a little more missionary minded with some of my gifts. I wanted to get a few copies of the Luke 2 nativity video the church has for two of my neighbors. It's a really good short Christmas video, not too Mormonany and I felt like everyone could a little reminder of the Savior during the holiday season. I called the missionaries to get some copies but they did not have any so my dear husband called the mission office this morning and went and got me a couple. I wrapped them up and set out with a plate of goodies. I gave Zoee the DVD to carry and totally thought that it would really help her understand that we do nice things for other people. Well, we go to the first house and I handed the treats to the girl and I told Zoee to give her the present. Zoee refused. She kept saying "NO...mine!" I pryed her little fingers off the DVD and handed it to the girl and told her Merry Christmas. Zoee was pretty much screaming at this point and kept saying she wanted the present and that is was her birthday. I felt so stupid and embarrassed. The girl kind of looked at me weird and asked if it was really Zoee's birthday and if I wanted the present back. I told her it was not Zoee's birthday and that she must just be a little confused. I picked up my screaming 2 year old and walked home with her screaming the entire time. She continued to cry for about 15 minutes after we got home. It was a sad cry and I felt bad that she thought I gave her birthday present away. She kept saying she wanted to call Popits so I let her and that calmed her down a bit. Oh, it was embarrassing!
Can she get anymore dramatic?! (ok please don't anyone answer that...I would rather not know!)
