Ellie's been trying our patience lately. She's been throwing a fit any time we take anything away from her. It's always been that way with food, even stuff she doesn't like or want. "Don't eat it daddy. Save it for later." You have to be pretty sneaky taking it away or she makes you give it back. Recently, though, it's gone way beyond food. Other things we've had to "give back":
Milk that we've wiped
Peepers (eye crust) that we've wiped out
Tears that we've wiped away
"Boogies" that we've, well, you know.
To top it all off, potty training officially starts today. We've been introducing her to it very slowly for months now and she hasn't been receptive at all. Today she's been on the potty probably a dozen times already and she hasn't squeezed a drop. It might be for the better, though. She'd probably want us to give that back, too.
Carla, at lunch today, after Walker had cleaned his plate: Wow, Walker, look at your plate!
Carla gives Walker M&Ms for dessert.
Ellie picks all the food up off of her plate and puts it on the table.
Ellie: Look at my plate!

Yeah, she's a smart little stinker.
