She was started out such a sweet baby girl........... I'm not sure where exactly I went wrong but somewhere......I did. As I was making dinner she was laying on the ground (always within 2 feet of me) eating her box of raisins. She was laying on her back and dumped the box onto her face where they ended up all over the ground. I looked down from the stove and told her she needed to pick those up. Her response " NO MOM! I don't want to clean up, I want Ben to clean them up. BBBEEEENNNN, come clean up! BBBEEENNN come clean up". Ben was sitting at the table doing his homework and I told him he was not allowed to listen to her and that he was not to come help her. So for the next couple minutes we had the same conversation over and over again with me telling her that Ben was not going to clean up and that she had to and every time I got the same response with more attitude than a two year old should have. She was still laying on the ground the whole time not making any attempt to clean up. She is so bossy when it comes to her brothers and really expects them to do whatever she says and the bad part is that so much of the time they actually listen to her. I had two older brothers with a similar age spread and there was no way they ever listened to me. Once again I am having to tell my boys not to be quite so nice to her in fear that we will have more conversations like this one.

*She did eventually pick up every raisin and popped them into her mouth to clean them up. That's my great listener!
