Ive been needing to write this down for awhile because its so funny to me, but I keep procrastinating. I figure this is a good place to have it so I wont forget. Whenever Makella gets in trouble, we put her in time out. I try to avoid it as much as possible though, because she wont just sit it out peacefully, she cries, screams, etc. Its just a big ordeal. Lately, she has stepped things up a bit and will yell all sorts of unintelligible things. When Im not really angry and can appreciate the humor of it, its really funny! :) Yesterday was another example of this. Here is how it went:

Ella had gotten into a big can of juice mix and gotten it all over the table and was even mixing it in a big can of crisco...big mess. So into time out she goes...

through her cries and screams, "I need to get ready for my party! I just need to get ready! Its my party!

When she realizes I am not going to respond, she starts actually yelling at me.

" No!....mumbled yelling....No! and I dont understand! No!....Cupcakes! I will not understand!....Cupcakes! You dont do that!...Cupcakes!! (I really have noo idea what the whole cupcakes thing is about, but I was trying not to laugh)

After I still wont respond, she calms down a bit and says...

"Oh no, mommy is not answering me! What can I do? What can I do to make mommy answer me?
Then she just gives up and sits there..

Each time is a little different, but there is always crying and lately there has been some kind of scream for cupcakes. I appreciate the joy and humor she brings to my day! Thanks Ella!

In other news, there is only 13 more days until my due date! So far, I dont think he will come early or anything. If I make it to my due date which is the 29th, then Im just going to wait til Oct. 1 or 2 and then I will be induced. So we will see how this all goes. Im getting pretty excited!
