The Devil's Hairstyle.

I'm starting to believe the widely held opinon that children always know when a sibling is on the way. Lately, Aimee has been difficult, tantrum prone, and needier than when she was a newborn. She demands to be held, but not held sitting down, I have to stand up and carry her. She also refuses to eat anything that isn't home made and resembling soup or stew. To go to sleep she is requiring extra snuggle time and needs to have a baby, blankie, and at least 2 stuffed puppy doggies in the crib with her. All of these things seem pretty reasonable for a fussy, teething, ready to become a big sister, almost 2 year old. The strangest demand of all? I am not allowed to wear my hair in a pony tail. Pony tails are evil and can produce a reaction that goes from mild annoyance to an all out, foot stomping, pull her own hair, screaming tantrum very quickly.

Here are some things that are NOT evil and she actually likes:

New outfits with sparkly embellishments
Painted toenails (on me)
Letting her play with my make-up brushes
Visits from her friends Gracie and Maggie, they are 3 and 4 and are SOO cool.
Brushing her teeth
Shoes (all kinds)
Strawberries
Milkshakes
