We interuppted this regulary scheduled brag fest to give you a special report. Marie is a brat. I'm so sad. She was an angel when I left for Hawaii. She was good for everyone, she loved nursery and had babysitters lining up to tend her. Now she hates everyone, except me. And I am pretty sure she resents me even though she only wants to be with me. She's throwing tantrums left and right, mostly if I put clothes on her or don't let her put syrup or honey on everything she eats.
I'm so sad. What happened to my baby? It's as if I traded an angel, who people would babysit FOR FREE (just because they loved her!), for 1 trip to Hawaii. Is that fair? Didn't I earn Hawaii? And would I have gone had I known what I was trading.
Also I would like to shamefully report that she has a 6 pack. I saw it during her morning diaper-freak-out-fest. She was screaming, every muscle in her body twitched and flexed, and there it was. Staring at me, as if to say, "Well there you go, you are a crappy mom. You can't even feed your baby." But it's weird, I know she eats something. How else could I explain the 8 poopy diapers I change everday? Also it seems she can't eat dairy anymore. Too bad, because dairy is her #1 food group (besides sugar).
I am hanging on to my whits as best as I can. I've been reading the "Super Nanny" book and that has been aptly timed considering I started reading it before my Hawaii trip.
But I can't end the post this way. I was telling someone just the other day how I pride myself on the fact that I don't have negative blog posts (I was asking for it).
Marie said "Please" for the first time yesterday.
She shared with Preston by her own free will.
She has been actually helping me do chores: putting dishes away, supervising me make my bed, and offering to help with laundry (like really help- not just pull out clothes of her dresser).
She held up two green beans (yes! She eats green beans!) and said "two"- then pointed to another and said "three."
And she's probably done alot more that I am to ungrateful to notice. She's growing up and i guess I can take the bad with the good.
p.s. Still missing my camera. :(

The very same thing happened after I went to Hawaii. The strange thing was, we took her with us. Before Hawaii she was sleeping through the night, eating, being a normal happy baby. After Hawaii, she stopped sleeping through the night for two years and is still the pickiest eater in the entire world. Hawaii is cursed.
Don't blame yourself. It's the age. Didn't you know super advanced babies hit the terrible twos early? Marie can't help it if she's a prodigy :)
