Drama Queen

Ryanne is turning into quite the little drama queen. These days, when she doesn't get what she wants, she will throw herself on the floor or flail herself into my knees and just 'cry' and scream. We reached new heights on Sunday, though. She would get mad, run into the living room and look at her reflection in the television screen and then cry. She'd practice (I guess) for a minute and then run back into the kitchen, fling herself on the floor and use the cry she just perfected. It was SO hard for me not to laugh...so. very. hard.

Today, she also started singing. She stared out singing the little song on her morning program (but it was during the afternoon repeat). There's a segment where they sing "pa ja ma" with various repetitions while the selected 3 year old of the day puts on a pair of PJs. Today, I hear a tiny "pa pa pajama, pa jama jama, pa ja jama" coming from her as they sang on TV. It was SO cute to hear her little voice. Then, she started singing the "we're going to get dada" song while we were in the car. Her version was just "dada dada". *melt*

Today was also, apparently, naked baby tv day. It was really nice outside, but every time I tried to get her to play or do something else, she threw a fit and went back to the television. She watched some REALLY boring stuff. It wasn't worth the tantrums to get her away from it, though. After she spilled water on herself, she sat in a diaper, watching television. I was reminded of the years of my dad watching television in underwear in his favorite chair. Yeah, she's related to him, alright. She was perfectly happy. My attempts at clothes did no better than toys. Oh well...maybe it'll be nice again tomorrow and the park will be a better option.
