Pushing Buttons!

Katie is the DI group that Chris and I are running. Last night we asked her to read the information we had printed out on the invention of TV and write some lines from it to put in her play. We got the ugly face. And maybe a little stomping too. So Chris says, "just go highlight some lines." About 5 minutes later she comes back with highlighted lines on the printout and NO written lines. Again, Katie you have to write some lines for your play. We get an even uglier look. So off to her room she goes complete with slamming door. We might have been egging her on a bit at this point.

Ryan goes up and wants in her room to play. She starts screaming at him and more slamming doors results. He starts screaming at her. So we tell him to play with Meghan. "She doesn't want me either!" More screaming. Katie slams door again. We laugh and start our puzzle. Two minutes later, there is still screaming from Ryan at Katie, Katie screaming at him, Katie coming down stairs and whipping her stuff animal across the room. I go after her, more screaming, more doors, more laughter on our part.

Then silence. Chris and I continue our puzzle, and after 15 minutes we hear stomping around and loud talking and figure out that Katie is practicing her lines. Another thing we told her to do. She comes down 10 minutes later with lines and a smile on her face. Who knew she had such a temper.

That night in getting ready for bed she comes down and says "I'm sorry for all the evilness in my life so far." Well thank you Katie you are forgiven. What a funny little girl. Then she wants a snack and we tell her pretzels. UGLY FACE! So much of getting rid of all the evilness.

On a side note, Meghan and Katie took lunch to school yesterday. Katie brings home her lunch box, Meghan does not. They both want lunch today so we dug out the biggest brown paper grocery sack we could to put Meghan's lunch in, figuring it would embarass her. It even has Andreachi on it in big letters. Nope, she likes it!
