Miss "Tude"

Emmy. Need I say more? That one little word means so very many things in the Corley Clan! 

 The Little Stinker has developed quite the little attitude in the last month or so. I will go ahead and tell you that she has about 8 teeth all coming in at one time, and we just brought home her little sister, but my goodness, she's a handful! I find myself asking her if she needs to go to time out so many more times a day, and then sending her Little self to time out when she doesn't straighten up, than I think all of us combined use the bathroom in 3 days! 

I will try to catch this on video, but usually, when I ask her if she needs a time out, she can calm herself down relatively quickly.

Here's how our conversation goes:

Me - "Emmy? Do you need a time out?"

Emmy - "K"

Me - Emmy, you need to be a good girl, ok?"

Emmy - "K"

As I begin this conversation, Emmy is in tears because her Little world has just capsized onto itself, but as soon as I threaten the time out, she can snap right out of it. It is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen her do, with the exception of  when she figured out how to stand on her head and when she chased Grammy's cat around the house.

This Little may very well be the key breaking point of my mental state this summer, but hopefully, I'll be well enough to blog about it. If not, you will find me hiding somewhere where there's a pool and a margarita (or two)!
