...of what I am up against with Emily.
This morning, she was looking for her sneakers. I told her to look upstairs. She went up for all of a minute, came back down and siad she couldn't find them. I said to her, "Emily, if you go up there and really, really look, I bet you $5.00 you'll find them."
She goes up, spends a little more time looking. In the mean time, Katherine comes in and I tell her it is time to get her hair done for school. She said, "I thought Emily was going first with her hair." I explained to her that Emily was looking for her sneakers and that she was ready so she would have to go. Katherine's response? "Emily found her sneakers before and made me hide them under the couch so you would give her the bucks."
Emily went up, found her sneakers and hid them thinking that if she didn't find them upstairs, I would give her $5.00.
I was of course not serious about the money but that is not even the point. I don't even know what the word is to describe that whole thing. Smart? Sneaky? Sly?
Honest to God, if this is how she is going to be when she's 8, let's not even think about 16.
Holy crap.
that's my Meg, i'll say do it for a dollar, she'll say make it two we have a deal.
