The Strong Willed Wonder

After the morning of glorious dressing the strong willed wonder.  (Should I just let her wear the sundress even though it's too cold and learn for herself?)  BTW, while she was at pre-school today I removed all the sundresses from her closet.  Anyway, we got to pre-school and she was grinding against her carseat.  I have discussed it w/the therapist and he said it's normal that it comforting for her like sucking a thumb.  So she was holding her stuffed giraffe in hand and furiously grinding away.  Everyday she wants to bring a stuffed animal into school with her and everyday the teacher says it has to go into her backback so I told her we were going to put it in the backpack which evolved into a huge fight that I won.  I ended up carrying her (she wouldn't walk because she didn't want her shoes to get wet in the rain).  I carried a crying child, her backpack, and her lunch into the classroom. 

Another great day of being a stay at home mom to a child that fights about everything with me (sigh),  Exhausting, time outs are exhausting.
