OK, so to explain the last post in full…

Emma was SO whiny all day Wednesday. I finally sat her down and said Emma, what do you need? She says she’s hungry and wants pancakes. I don’t want to make them but I do. When I get them done, I take them into the dining room table and put hers down. Lexi climbs up in the chair and Emma gets mad—that’s MY chair. I move Lexi calmly and Emma will not sit in the seat. Then I put her up there claiming she WILL eat her pancakes. We go back and forth and she’s crying and I’m pretty much mad at this point. Emma, you told me you would eat the pancakes if I made them and we’re sitting here until you do. She’s crying, I don’t wanna eat them. I’m not hungry. I don’t want to eat again!!! I see MIL pull up to take her and Lexi on their weekly ritual visit and I say MaMaw is here so you can get down. She was still in her pj’s because she didn’t close on. So I get her dressed and realize she had poop in her panties. So I take her to the potty to get that changed. The whole time she’s crying because she HATES being cleaned up. Then I had to brush her hair and she HATES when I brush her hair. She is practically screaming crying by this point. And I’m really trying to be careful but I don’t have much mercy for the crying at this point. I finally put her last piece of clothing on and then pick her up for a hug. At this point, she won’t let go. MIL asks her if she wants to go with me and she says no. Lexi is all about going. So MIL actually leaves with only Lexi. First time that has EVER happened. Normally Emma is ALL ABOUT going with people. I can not believe still that she let her go. Well, within 20 minutes of them leaving, Emma was asleep for a 2 1/2 hr nap. Thank goodness. I couldn’t take anymore.
