The kiss

I picked up Gillian from school yesterday. She came running to me and said "Dorlisa give us all kissies!" I started to say "That's nice", but I was interrupted by her teacher. She said "Hersey kisses. Dorlisa gave everyone a Hersey kiss." Gillian and I said goodby to her friends and went to her cubby. I said "I put your kids in your backpack. You can have it for dessert." She said "I want it now!" I repeated, "You can have it for dessert." We got her sweatshirt on and walked outside. Again she said "But I want it now." I said "I know. But you can't have it now. You can have it for dessert." She fell to her needs and sat on the sidewalk. I had to carry her to the car. The whole time she was saying "But I want my kissie!" She was screaming by the time we got to the car. I buckled her in and said "Because of this tantrum, you lose Clover tonight." Well this didn't make things better. She screamed the entire car trip home. 

At home, she calmed down. She came over to me after dinner and hugged my legs. I picked her up and gave her a big hug. She said "Do you still like me?" I explained to her "I love you. I am not happy about your behavior and your attitude." She said "I don't got an attitude." She is a fiesty little lady, but I would never change her. 

Typical night

Daddy picked up the kids from school tonight. When Gillian and Daddy picked up John, Gillian went running into the gym to find him. She hugged him and they bumped heads. When she retold the story to me later she said "We bump heads. I cry. But I no go to timeout!" 

I got Gillian out of the car tonight. She laughed at me and pointed at the lapel of my coat. She said "Your beard tickle me!" I was sure if I heard that right, so I asked her to repeat it. She grabbed the lapel of my coat and said "Your beard! It tickle me!"

I tucked Gillian into bed tonight. I gave her a squeeze and a kiss. She wiped the kiss away. She thinks this is hilarious and loves wiping kisses off her face. I told her that it wasn't nice and that she was going to make me cry. I gave her another kiss and again she wiped it off. I walked out of her room and into John's. He said to me "Do you want a replacement?" He is so sweet.
