B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Wow, It has been a really long time since my last post! It has been bananas around here. I have some photos and randoms to post, but for now something funny just happened and I wanted to share the laughter. Mykela has just had a major breakdown. We had a long day of painting the living room and had lots of running around to do. Anyway, she just went outside to jump on the trampoline with Will. It has been raining here off and on all day. Well Mykie hates to get wet with her clothes on. If she even has a little drop on her shirt, pants, or socks, she flips and needs to change. I personally think this made for easy potty training! So she and Will were on the trampoline and they started wrestling around. William accidentally pushed her into a little puddle that was on the side of the trampoline. She gave out this loud scream and went into a crying rage. Of course I hear this horrible scream and cry (from inside my house) and run quickly to the yard. I grab her and I'm asking what happened. William is trying to explain but she's screaming so loud that it's impossible to hear him. Finally I raised my voice and said to stop the crying so I can understand what happened. She calms down and says that she can no longer jump because her butt was soaked. When Mykie is tired she's becomes a whole different child, I think this is true for most kids. They simply need some quiet time. Unfortunatly she didn't really get that today. Once I told her that she was going to get a bath and get her jammies on, she flip, and the Dr. Jekle in her came out! I calmly picked her up, screaming, arms a flailing, kicking, and everything else you can imagine, placed her on time out. After she calmed down a bit, I went to her and explained why she wasn't going back out on the trampoline with NEW DRY CLEAN clothes. And how no matter how many times she changed, she would continue getting wet. There were puddles all along the side. So when you jump the puddles would just run onto to trampoline. Well, she very qickly became quiet and I told her that I loved her, she said she loved me too. Ok, so here's the funny part, I go into the kitchen to get dinner started. After a few min. I look into the living room and don't see find Mykie, no luck in the bedroom either. As I'm walking out of the bedroom I find Mykie laying in the hallway on the hard wood floor. I say what are you doing? She responds, "Well, I'm a very BAD girl and I don't deserve to sit on the couch or my bed"! Haha... I wish you could have heard her. I'm sure you would find it more funny, but some of the things this child says just make me almost pee my pants! I thank God everyday for sending me such little comidians!
