false

I think that this has become Emmaline's favorite word. At least it is the word I hear out of her mouth the most. She has gotten to where she will disagree with anything you say (I wonder where she gets that stubborn streak?). Now that it is cold and she has to wear a coat, she insists that her coat is too tight in the car, that the straps on her seat won't stay up, that her pants are coming down - she fusses and fusses and if you try to talk to her at all, she just goes 'NO'! It is soooo frustrating. If it was only in the car, I guess that would be one thing, but over the last couple of weeks, it is constant. If you ask her to pick something up......"No", if you tell her it will get taken away if it doesn't get picked up......."No it won't", if you start to go ahead and pick it up to take it away..........."NOOOOO". She gets herself so mad and worked up over the littlest thing that she literally will argue with you that the sky is NOT blue.

This is Emma in the middle of all of her "no's". She always gets so upset and I just can't figure out why or how to keep it from happening.

She finally has calmed down and decided that she needed her hat up to make it all better. Her hair had been fixed really cute and I knew that her hood would mess it up, but at this point, I didn't care. I just wanted her to be happy again and to smile.

FINALLY!! By the time I pulled into Grandma's driveway, she smiled. It didn't last for long, but at least I got one. :-)
