You know the sound of tires screeching as a car brakes to avoid danger…that is the imaginary sound I get in my head when I think of the sharpest of sharp corners my little Siss turned a few days back. All of a sudden — literally out of the blue, my little girl has started trying to be nice. I thought I was doomed with stubborn central for the rest of my life, but I just kept at it. No matter what, I insisted on “please”, “thank you”, and “sorry”. We have had some major stand offs. We have had tears (on both parts). But over the last couple of days, Sweet Thing has decided to be quite the charmer. (Probably taking notes from Scout.) I am not going to try and dissect this or even try and understand it…I am just going to sit back and enjoy. (I wrote relax, but backspaced on that one since “being good” doesn’t mean the same thing as slowing down.)
Here she is with a mess of Spanish peanuts on Nonnie’s bed (thanks to Bella). And this is when the blanket was still protecting Nonnie’s sheets!
