It was a beautiful day so we decided to go on a walk. Reena on her bike and Debrie in the stroller. We barely got on the trail, which is about 200 yards from our house and this was our conversation:
Reena: There's SO many hills around here
Me: Yep, just keep paddling
Reena: I can't. I'm too small
Me: Well, don't just leave the bike there!
Reena: No, just leave it alone
At this point she is crying because I had taken the plastic strings on her bike and tried to tie the bike to the stroller. She was very unhappy so she sat down on the ground fussing and crying the words "Leave it alone, just leave it alone"
Me: Reena, are you gonna be happy or should we just go back home?
Reena: No I don't want to go home
Me: So are you going to be happy?
Reena: No
Me: Why not?
Reena: Because I'm NOT happy with you
She's not happy with me. At this point my anger just turned into laughter. She totally got that from us.
We made it home at last! with 2 happy kids!
Regarding me blogging just now
Reena: Mamma, you're working?
Me: Yep, I'm working
Now she hands me the scriptures
Reena: Let's read the Holy Spirit
It's so fun to have a 3 year old. She sure keeps my life fun and interesting and who says you can't have an intelligent conversation with a 3 year old. Maybe my level of intelligent is low but to me she is a pretty bright, intelligent, and logical kid. She'll give you reasons to why she does things and give you solutions to a problem when what you want is for her to JUST DO what you ask her to do.
