The posts that parents publish typically brag about a positive accomplishment of one of their children, or something they are proud of. This post is a bit different. I am posting this little blurb for a certain young lady who may someday look back at this and laugh when her own daughter adds a little sass to her day.
I have to say that we have been pretty lucky with our children's behavior while they are away. Even a certain young man who likes to challenge his parents daily has never had an issue with behavior when he is at school or with a babysitter. Enter child #3. Perhaps it is irony that if you switch one letter from a 'C' to a 'S' you can easily spell the word SASS. I was handed a screaming child halfway into Sunday school today. 'She must be hurt' I hoped, remembering how her nursery teacher told me she was having a hard time in class with sharing toys. Not the case. Again. It seems that since another child has entered her class, one who has similar ideas as Cassidy and has decided to challenge some of the dominance she had once had a monopoly on in this class, Cass has decided to throw an occasional tantrum, and swing an occasional arm when she is upset. I'll be honest I am a little thrown for a loop, that a child of mine would have the gall to do this. *enter sarcasm* I mean, my kids are supposed to be perfect aren't they?! Ha! Yeah right! (Looks as if my luck has warn off:)) Sassidy is in full force. What a sweetie she can be... but challenge her when she feels she is in control (and for now if you are her size) and she is going to exercise her agency. Boy, I can't wait til she is 16. All I can say is that we are doing our best to nip. this. in. the. bud.
