Family Story – Drama
Posted by Amy | Filed under Family, Parenting
I started this blog a year and a half ago to tell stories about everyday living in my household (hence Living Locurto), but it has since become more of an art blog. I like having a diary of everyday events though, so instead of starting a new family blog I decided on some Fridays to post family stories here. I hope you don’t mind me shifting gears a little.
This is a story about my new best friend.
Please don’t judge me. I do have a very large cat for which spray bottles are great to use when they try to eat your pet fish. But I also have a VERY dramatic, usually screaming for no reason three year old. Just ask Angie, who every time I get on the phone with her that three year old is crying at the top of her lungs for some ridiculous reason. LOL!
For instance, we’re just having a nice afternoon eating baby oranges (as she calls them). So I get my camera out to record my little girl doing something average on an average day.
When out of nowhere comes this face… uh oh…
And WHAM! There is the wailing scream we’re all used to around this house. (I think taking photos of the scream just make it worse, but it was so funny, I couldn’t help myself!)
I try to reason with her by asking what’s wrong. Have you ever tried that with a dramatic three year old? Doesn’t quite do the trick. So out comes my new best friend, Mr. Spray Bottle. (insert evil laugh here:-) I just sit him on the counter and tell her I have “my friend” here and would she like to talk now? (no spraying is actually needed… that’s the funny part!)
Since miss sassy pants is scared I’ll actually spray her, she calms down to tell me that she’s mad because she’s almost done with her baby oranges. She wants more please. Wow, it’s like magic! So after getting her more oranges and a toy to take her mind off of the drama. All is back to normal.
Well, until her brother gets a hold of my new friend…
Do you have a dramatic preschooler and a “loves to start trouble” son too? Please tell me I’m not the only one! ha!
