After what I would like to call a stressful day of no listening, misbehaving and no napping (for the second day in a row), Isabelle and I "had a little talk."
After our talk, we worked on repeating what she was going to do in order to make sure it sunk in:
Me: "Repeat after me: 'I am going to be a good girl.'"
Izzy: "I am going to be a good girl."
Me: "I will listen to mommy and daddy."
Izzy: "I will listen to mommy and daddy."
And a couple more...then
Me: "I will do what mommy and daddy tell me to do."
Izzy: "I will tell mommy and daddy what to do."
Hmmmm....not quite what I was hoping for.
And, if you doubt her sassiness..take a look!

Gotta love the 'tude! My sister used to tell off my Mom with her hands on her hips…at 3.
Oh goodness. She looks a little sassy. Good thing she can't see me giggle about her sassiness.
sounds like she has it right to me honey
sorry for another long day – hoping for sunshine and unicorns tomorrow and the next day and the next.
I'm sure glad that there are other people out there with kids that have sass and don't listen. The kids I nanny for play that game for me every once in a while. It annoys the heck outta me!! Timeout and those kids are best friends right now. Hope things get better for you!!
Love, Mere

AWww ! LOL. That's too freakin' cute! I bet you didn't think so at the time though, huh?
Ha! she is such a smarty pants. And sooo stinkin' cute with that curly red hair.
Hilarious. Izzy is the best!
How funny, she has her own interpretation of your talks
I love her curls, they are adorable
Ha ha! That made me laugh out loud.
ha, ha! if looks could kill!
Aah! My son is the same way. Who would've thought a little boy would be so sassy? Not me.
I think the 3's are definitely worse than the 2's…..love that stare!!
Chandler is either the sweetest child ever or she is a monster….not much in between.
Red hair is my ultimate fear! LOL
HA HA! Her last comment cracked me up….sassy is right! But still so cute.
hahaha!=)
No nap for two days, the worst.
Hoping she decided to finally take one, because an overtired preschooler is no fun at all
Haha, she reminds me of my daughter.

This sounds like my WEEK. Seriously. My kids have been nasty nasty nasty – like I want to put them out on the lawn with a For Sale sign on them, nasty. Perhaps it has to do with my "condition" but seriously…
Hang in there! It surely can't get any worse! At least that's what I'm saying.
Oh my heart….this is just like Karys! Oh my!
Kids definitely have their sassy moments. I had mine.
It will get better! My mom didn't put up that at all.
