Venting

For the past several months, Sage has started to vent in her room at night. To say that she HATES sleep would be an understatement. She has pretty much been that way since she's been born. But now she can express herself...which to hear a 3 year old do that is...something. Her tone and some of the things she can say would get her a spanking if she were saying it TO us, but I told Travis that she's in HER room and that's what a room is for. I've called my mom and let her hear it. I wouldn't even say this is her best here, but this is what we go through EVERY night--sometimes for a good hour. Then she'll just go to sleep. In this scene, we have Sage, who was being VERY sassy, alone in her room. Travis walked out and refused to go back in until she apologized. She tried to convince him that it was HIS fault, that HE was the one being ugly. She says, "You were being rude to ME, sooo (logic of a 3 year old) I choose EVERYTHING. I choose tap. I choose ballet...I choose everything. That's all I choose." on here.



*Sidenote: After watching this and hearing it back, I realize that she did NOT apologize. I thought she was saying, "Daddy! I'm sorry Daddy!" when she actually said, "Daddy, SAY 'I'm sorry' Daddy." So...I gave her undeserving credit.

That is something else, she isn't afraid to speak her mind.

Yes, Barb.
That is her strength and her downfall at the same time.

Isn't it amazing what a 3 yr old can say? So funny! It's hard to hear sometimes on those monitors what they say. So not only did she not say it but then she said she did. Funny! I know not funny when you're going through it.
