BUT
She has hid my cell phone
Stolen my shoes
Stripped the leaves off of her pretend tree house
Snuck out of her bed EVERY night for the past 3 months
Told me to throw her toys away because she wasn't going to clean them up
Wasted countless bowls of cereal
Dumped a bowl of popcorn on the floor
Flushed 2 rolls of toilet paper
BUT
She also told me I was a 'Great mother'
Thanked me for making her lunch every day
Sang her 'Baby Jesus' song to her baby dolls
Snuggled up with me to read Christmas books
Gave me hugs and kisses and told me she loved me
I love her with all of my heart - I really truly do but some days I need to scream. Some days the tears well up in frustration. I know she is pushing boundaries and we are trying are darndest to work together and get through this tough time. Even though we have some REALLY tough days my heart always warms when I kiss her goodnight before I go to bed. She is the little baby that I carried around for nine months, she is my little miracle.
