Clair is really testing her limits. She gets away with more bossiness and more of having things her way then Max or Ellie ever did. I'm starting to get a little concerned about it at times. We are trying to remember to not laugh (which is honestly more of the tendency at this point with number three and no babies to follow) but to discipline her.
Yesterday it was time to come up for a nap and she yelled at me, "No." When I reminded her that I was in charge, she looked at me and firmly replied, "No, I'm the boss. I'm in charge of you." She cautiously looked at me to see what would happen next.
I quickly lowered my eyes to her and responded with something like, "Excuse me, who is the mother here?"
Her response was then something like, "Me, I'm the mom."
It was naptime and I gave her a quick choice / bribe which she decided to comply with. Head up the stairs right now or no story. She gave in and did what was required, sort of.
This girl... she's giving me a run for my money. She won't be a rule follower when she doesn't want to be.
My Clair Bear Vonita....
