She is only 2!!!! I am in the middle of potty training her, and I hate this stage... I hope she gets it soon. She is so tiny and cute, but she is in charge of the house (so she thinks). I have to keep reminding Jaden that Morgan can NOT tell her what to do, and if she does, Jaden does NOT have to do what Morgan says. Can you imagine!!! This tiny little girl tells my big (almost 5 year old) girl that she can't leave her room. Then, I hear Jaden crying in her room. I go to check on her, and Jaden says, "Morgan won't let me leave my room." Or she says, "Morgan said I can't change my clothes." There are a million different "Morgan said I can't" situations. The crazy thing is that when Morgan says it, Jaden does what she tells her to do. Hmmmmm... And I thought the oldest child was always the bossiest!

that is soooo funny... shes in charge for sure ;0)
I have read about children who really think they are in charge, even of their parents, and express surprise when someone tells them that they are not in charge. There are children who fancy themselves as kings and queens, and behave regally. I have a very slight memory of a time when I felt like a king. And I also have a slight memory of my disappointment when things didn't happen as I wished they do. Of course, i don't have any image or any recollection of an event, just feelings. Yet they are enough to think that sometime when I was very young, I fancied myself as being a king.
LOL! Bridget went through a period of telling Emma she was on time-out and couldn't get up. And Emma would sit down on time-out and cry! I finally had to make a rule that they can put their "babies" on time-out, but only grown-ups can put real kids on time-out...
I do believe in letting kids choose their own time to use the potty, but boy, do I wish Bridey would do it soon. She's outgrown size 7 diapers and I have to buy the "big kid Night Pants..."
