Which Kid is Weird????

I get frustrated with my toddler because she is so busy.  My husband finds her exasperating.   Every one at our regular hangouts knows her full name.   The gymnastics teacher knew her name within seconds.  One little girl at playschool even said, "that girl didn't listen."

So far my toddler's day has gone like this:
  • woke up around 6:30
  • threw sippy cup when ran out of chocolate milk
  • temper tantrum
  • fought with sister over spot on couch
  • hugged cat*
  • refused breakfast
  • climbed in laundry basket on kitchen table to pet cat
  • temper tantrum when removed from laundry basket
  • turned out bathroom light while I was in the shower
  • threw sippy cup when discovered it empty
  • hugged cat
  • temper tantrum when sister turned off TV
  • refused to get hair combed
  • ran away in Chapters
  • helped herself in Starbucks
  • temper tantrum when I tried to help her drink her hot chocolate
  • ran away in Starbucks
  • temper tantrum when sister got out of car first
  • temper tantrum when couldn't get her boots off
  • hugged cat
  • pushed chair over to oven to help me make lunch
  • temper tantrum when chair moved away from stove
  • pushed chair over to counter and ate kiwi off her plate while I was cooking lunch
  • refused actual lunch including the replacement kiwi
  • temper tantrum over no dessert
  • dumped out laundry basket to play in
  • hugged cat
  • threw book at me in hopes I would read it
  • nap

The more I deal with her though the more I realize it is my three year old that is odd.

Her day so far:
  • woke up around 7:15
  • fought with sister over spot on couch
  • watched TV
  • read books 
  • ate breakfast
  • read books
  • got dressed
  • went to Chapters and Starbucks
  • read her new book
  • threw bumble bee toy around
  • ate lunch
  • had dessert
  • watched Monsters VS Aliens while reading books
  • nap
Now don't get me wrong, she can be trouble as well.  She just does it differently.  She is more of a scam artist.  Her sister is just much more direct.  Which will cause a reversal in source of stress for me when they are teenagers.


*Hugging cat is the nice way of saying what she does.  One cat is definitely harmed in each of their encounters.
