After a long morning, it was (((finally))) naptime. After quite a bit of encouraging I shuffled Taryn in to her room to lay down….

Taryn: Mom, you NEED to read me a book.

Mom: Taryn, it’s not nice to tell mommy what to do. You should ask nicely.

she really isn’t a morning person. she usually wakes up with random complaints and voices them ((loudly)) before anyone even has a chance for their feet to hit the floor. our auto response is “good morning taryn, how did you sleep?” or “good morning taryn, how are you?” which always results in a blank “how dare you interrupt me in the middle of my issue with such chipperness” stare. i’m hoping she’ll grow out of it. ty’s not much of a morning person either, but has gotten better through the years. she’s also been on a food strike and has lost 3 lbs. there are days for our own peace […]
