defiant
janie is learning to be defiant. every afternoon she climbs up onto the couch (which she knows she is not suppose to be on) and smooshes her face up against the huge glass picture window in our living room. it's not that we don't want our child on our furniture. but if she was to break that picture window, by falling through it, pushing her hand through it....whatever....it would kill her. it's that old-timey glass that doesn't shatter when it breaks. it shards. there is a big difference. if it was to shatter, we would still have a cut - up little girl, but if it was to shard........well....i'm just not going to think about that right now.
my point is that janie KNOWS not to get up there and hit the glass. SHE KNOWS. but she does it anyway. and there is apparently no reasoning with a 19 month old that can't (or won't, i should say) even talk back.
"don't hit the glass," i say sternly with my brow furrowed and my finger pointing at the window.
"uhhh..." is her only reply. this has got to get better. *chuckle* or i guess it could get worse.
this is an old picture of janie....probably from when she had just turned a year old (i say that because i remember those pajamas....) anyway, i am posting it, not because of it's great digital quality, but because this is what i feel she is thinking every time she gets on top of that couch and slaps the front glass window.
*sigh*
