She is driving me maaaaadddddddd!!!!

My sweet lovely little daughter is sooooooo driving me totally and utterly crazy!!!

She is 6! 6 year olds are meant to be all sugar and spice and all things nice!!

But NO ~ she may look sweet and lovely and gorgeous ( and most of the time she is!!), but today she was awful ~ she has turned into a teenager overnight (ha ha ) ~ and this morning we had an arguement ( a big arguement ~ with shouting and stomping and crying and slamming of doors......and I am talking about Lauren here NOT me!!). You may be wondering what the arguement was about ~ you may think that it was something major, something earth shattering, something so important that it sent my 6 year old into this fit of pure rage........well.......it was over a cardigan!! YES ~ you are reading that right A CARDIGAN!!

I simply pointed out that she may have to start wearing her school cardigan (as the weather is getting a bit colder) ~ so that she can wear her winter jacket over the top (her fleece is quite bulky and you can't put the jacket over it comfortably!). A simple enough observation you would think ~ but not for my daughter ~ she decided that there was no way she was wearing her school cardigan, apparently only 'dorks' wear school cardigans ( please note ~ this is her 6 year old opinion ~ not mine!!), and there is absolutely, completely and totally no way that she is ever wearing one (even though this time last year ~ Lauren and her cardigan were actually best friends!)........



She got in her uniform ~ she put on her fleece and she then squeezed herself into her new school coat ~ with a look of satisfaction on her (sweet) little face!! We headed on the school run and she squeezed herself into the carseat (looking like a big uncomfortable marshmallow!) ~ I looked in the rear mirror at her all squashed up and uncomfortable in the seat
"Are you alright back there lauren? Feeling a bit squashed?"
She said nothing ~ just gave me a look (THAT look!! tee hee)........

Tonight she was still in a bit of a sulk ~ and went off to bed in a huff ~ I think it was still over the cardigan incident (I am not totally sure !!). I just checked in on her a few minutes ago and she is lying in her bed ~ looking all sweet and gorgeous and angelic! I love her so much (Daniel too) ~ and I suppose that the first lesson that I ever learnt about Motherhood ~ is that good or bad, right or wrong, nice or not ~ you always love your little devils....oops I meant children.......no matter what !!

By the way ~ anyone need a school cardigan? Navy blue, age 6 years......I have a few of them going spare (tee hee!!) XXXXXX
