This little love bug sure keeps my life interesting. She has turned into a very independent and strong-willed preschooler. She has not been napping every day since preschool began and has been doing pretty well. Earlier today, the kids and I were on our way back from a picnic at the park and Kadence decided to turn very feisty. Have you ever tried to get your children to stop fighting and listen when you are driving? It is not an easy or safe task. I had had enough when I looked in my mirror and saw her pulling on Landon's ear extremely hard and than smiling when I attempted to reprimand her. So, needless to say the minute we entered our home, she headed to her room for a time out. I was doing some things around the house and purposely left her in her room a little longer than normal. When I entered her room after no more than 10 minutes this is what I found...
My little princess had managed to fall asleep all curled up on her chair. I couldn't help but smile. I just felt bad we didn't get to have the time out "discussion" so that she would learn something from her punishment. I was proud of her as she did not leave the chair, as she was told. So I snapped a photo and moved her to her bed where she proceeded to take a much needed nap. I guess I know why she was misbehaving...she was simply exhausted.
