We have had an admittedly busy day which followed many other overly busy days. I told Ellie that after I did some work, I would take her to the park. She has been getting whinier and more bossy as I have worked. I should have recognized the escalating and either cut it off or given her some more attention. Still...
She went in our candy drawer and took some out. I asked her to put it back. She didn't. I asked her again. She refused. I took the candy away, put it in the drawer, and carried her into her room. She wound up and hit me on the arm. I said, "I do not take children who behave like this to the park." Then I shut the door and left.
She has been standing inside her bedroom at the door crying, "I want to go to the park!" for five minutes straight. Over and over again. I lost track at 24 times several minutes ago because I decided to type the story instead.
Another lovely family moment at the VanLoon household.
