I'm convinced that mine does. She is has been so easy-going lately that caring for her has been less work and more fun for the first time in 2 1/2 years. She plays well by herself, listens to us most of the time, and is very sweet overall.
Well, my husband is out of town for the next few days and I was actually looking forward to spending some quality girl time with my little "angel". She apparently had different plans. I came home from work yesterday and picked her up from the babysitter and she proceeded to have a full-on hissy fit about not wanting to go home with me. That felt great. After 15 embarrassing minutes of "negotiating" I got her to come home. She had similar meltdowns at least every 15-20 minutes until I put her to bed for the night. I'm sure she was tired, but it was very hard to deal with for 3 hours after working all day. I swear she only does this when she knows I need her to behave while I'm doing the single mom thing.
Last week, however, we had a great time. I spent a lot of time with her after going a few weeks working crazy hours and missing her bedtime a few times. I took her to the park and we had a picnic. I enjoy watching her during these times. Man, is she bossy at the park, though!
Here's one of very few pics I have of just the two of us. (I'm always on the other side of the camera).
Wish me luck for the next couple of days!
