I would actually be thrilled for Emma to put hers on backwards so that she couldn't take it off herself. I can't tell you how many times she has carried her coat for hours (because I force her to bring it), refusing to put it on in spite of frigid temperatures.maryannehttp://mamasmiles.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-23772547054945284572009-11-11T07:44:32.110-07:002009-11-11T07:44:32.110-07:00Very smart old man, Glitzen!Very smart old man, Glitzen!Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-25472028998000402762009-11-10T21:58:37.388-07:002009-11-10T21:58:37.388-07:00Wise Mama.

He's also been wearing two different socks and sometimes two different shoes.

Truer words were never written! One of my twin daughters is very easy-going, but the other is Miss Independence.

Yesterday I threatened to send Sue Sue to school in her pajamas... she also tends to throw her blankie when she's mad... so some nights she has to go to sleep without it.Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-85285810006901381052009-11-10T11:44:19.278-07:002009-11-10T11:44:19.278-07:00Maybe it's a good thing you live far away.

If our six were in one room, the resulting level of defiance might create a black hole!<br /><br />This morning Jessie was placed in her carseat without pants, shoes, socks or jacket because she refused to get dressed. I dressed her in the car once we arrived at school. She'd refused to get dressed because I asked her to wash her hands, and she was mad. She threw her lovey when Melody handed it to her, so that got left at home.Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042551936789254047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-88855180438052624752009-11-10T11:06:21.761-07:002009-11-10T11:06:21.761-07:00Ahhh the sippy cup battle.

I know its hard for you coz you are the mom and the one handling them everyday, but its funny with me as reader quadmama, I also giggles when I tried to teach my son the proper way to hold his sippy cap, but he insisted on his own way. They grow so quick, now you can't tell them what to do hehehe they have their own ways. Like you said at least she wears her coat. Thanks for sharing this, now it gave the idea now not to fight when my kids reach that certain age.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288418049464329777noreply@blogger.com
