Syd has a bad case of the THREEs

Oh Syd.  Real talk: she is very difficult these days.  The most stubborn, opinionated being in our household.  Melting down a million times a day over the stupidest stuff.  Today, when we were getting out at walmart, I got her out of the car seat (holding her) and didn't put her down until after I had locked the doors.  She berated me the whole way inside saying she wanted to be put down first BEFORE I locked the car.  I'm not kidding.  I have to talk to her a lot about being kind and using our kind voice.  She hits poor Millie, and she loves to shriek and kick the seat when she's angry...basically, she's a beast.  Every single day is a fight about what she wears.  I don't even care, I let her pick it out...but she always changes her mind after she has it on and then we need to go to school.  My only savior is that I KNOW it's a phase being compounded by beginning of school tiredness.  Her naps are cut short every day, since I have to pick Millie up by 3pm.  It's not pretty.  I do feel sorry for her being so tired all the time.  I'm tired too, Syd.  You wake me up every day at 4am yelling at me that you need covered up again.   
Thankfully, being three is also very cute.  She makes us laugh as often as she's melting down.  She adores accessories and pretty clothes and shoes...twirling and dancing.  She loves riding her scooter and playing with Millie.  She loves to sing very loudly in the car.  She gives the best kisses and hugs, and she always says "I love you too" when I tell her I love her.  In fact, she's started saying "I love you too...love you soooo much".  It's so damn adorable.  It's the only reason she hasn't been left in a parking lot somewhere. ;)  
We do love you, Syd.  Love you sooooo much.
