She's been "challenging" at school this week.
Last night she was still awake when I got home from book group at 9:20pm. When I got out of the shower at 9:45, David was asleep and Zuzu was no where to be found. She was downstairs eating slices of wheat bread.
This morning when I asked her (again) to get dressed, she said, "Ugh. Are you kidding me?"
When she told Coco goodbye today, she said very seriously, "You're sick, so you cannot kiss anyone. Only hug them."
In short, she's pushing boundaries, being sassy, and generally asserting herself in the best and worst ways. I worry about her, about the spirited defiance and delighted enthusiasm with which she greets the world.
I don't always know what to do with her, but I sure do love her.
You do exactly as she needs: love her.
ReplyDeleteI get a lot of, "DIS IS SO BORING!" from Piper and "UGH! Again?" or, "I need some time to myself!" as she slams the bedroom door.
