She's a Logical Child. . .

Even when it comes to her emotions.

She often comes up to me after crying about something and matter of factly informs me, "Ali all done crying now."

The other day, she was demanding something in an unpleasant manner. I said, "Nope. That was bossy. And it was whiny."

She thought about it, looked at me, and said, "AND it was fussy."

Another recent day, we were at the mall playing with AJ and Ali had a stinky diaper. I called her over to quit playing so that I could change it. She didn't want to quit playing, of course, but she came anyway. She laid down, and said "Ali no-no temper tantrum".

I really love having a logical child.
