Your gonna love this story ......

Very cute story. I'm might sell the rights to Disney so they can make a cheesy little movie out of it. But ONLY if they have Megan Fox play me in the movie. I know your thinking she is too young and immature to be a mom... but hello!! so am I! We look too similar for her to not get the role. Any way. THE STORY----> Addie doesn't do her hair ever.. She lets it get all tangled and sweaty and crispy and never brushes it or pulls it back. She hates pig tails, braids, half pony, whole pony, shampoo and conditioner. I finally had enough and I told her that if she didn't start letting me fix her hair I was going to cut it. (I figured at least a short stacked bob would be cuter than long and disheveled) She got angry and said why? "why do I have to look the way you think I should look?" "I like how I look." I told her that we have to dress nice, clean our clothes and take care of our personal hygiene to put our best foot forward. She said that she does brush her teeth,take showers and brush her hair in the morning but her hair gets tangled later in the day. I told her thats why we needed to fix it up so it would not do that. I told her people are cruel and will judge us if we look ugly. She said well I don't care what those kind of people think about me! @#%#%$@!! Grrrr... Damn! That was a good response. She told me she likes who she is and does not think her hair has anything to do with who she is. Listen I love love love that she thinks like that and am proud of her being smart enough to communicate her feelings so well. This is my whole problem! I am parenting a child that is smarter than me. Every argument she trumps me with these smart well thought out responses. It freaking sucks amazeBalls! I was out. I had nothing left to argue with. All my ideas were shot back at me and shoved down my throat making me feel simple minded and small. So I started to beg. Cause though I agree that she is beautiful no matter what her hair looks like, I was still tired of people thinking we were homeless or dirt poor because of how she rolls out for school everyday. I pleaded and begged and bribed her. She finally said ok. I got so excited and happy! Clapping my hands I said "YES! YES, YES...if you go get me a hair tie and brush I will try this new braid I saw on Pinterest." Her response?? "Why should I be the one to go get the brush? This whole thing was your dumb idea!!..You go get it mom." #%@^$%*!! Grrrr!!! So I trudged my way into the bathroom, came back with the stuff and worked really hard on her hair. She walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I peeked in and her face was stone cold, no smile, NOTHING! I sighed drank half a bottle of Nyquil and went to bed. The next morning I woke up and was getting ready for the day. When I went to open my makeup drawer there was this note that said "Thanks mom" inside, and on the back was this picture. My heart melted and I was more happy then I was the day she was born. Babies are sweet and cute but its different when they start to communicate and you can see the person they are becoming... I think she will turn out to be an amazing, talented, well read, loving girl. That being said I do pray for the man she marries already. I hope he aces his debate class in college.

What a great story! Just wanted to leave a comment so you would know that I read your blog! You are such an awesome mom and crack me up on a daily basis! I love this story cause I am having all of these weird feelings about Fin growing up, I'm mean it's not like I don't want her to grow, but I would prefer that she do it very, very, slowly. Stories like these make me realize that there is a lot to look forward to and even though she can't be a baby forever, there is all sorts of goodness to come.
