The Homecoming Queen

This kid is going to drive me to drink. That sweet angelic face is a cover for a deep naughty streak. Our biggest challenge with Amelia is she's just so stinkin' happy. NOTHING phases her. Take away her toys? No big deal. Take away computer time? Okie dokie. No TV? Ok, Mommy, I'll just read my books. AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!! Her kindergarten teacher is facing the same issue. A consequence that would send a regular kid into tears doesn't bother Amelia in the least. As Mrs Z wrote on her report card, "Amelia is overwhelmingly perky!" I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not. The worst part for Mrs Z? Amelia is a LEADER! All the kids love her. Girls give her their toys everyday and boys yell out their carpool windows at her. She eats it up. Loves it. She is the Homecoming Queen of 2008.

So all you who knew me back when I was the perfect mom, feel free to yuck it up. I deserve it.

Just keep her away from Liam. Those two could really cause some damage.

I know it is better to use time outs and things like that but she probably likes those too huh?

What about a smack on the back of the head? heh that should teach her!

oh well good luck...

What ever did happened to good ole' fashioned spankin's?? Never hurt us when we were growing up. In fact, I think it did a little good for me. Now if you even THINK about a swat on the butt, you're thrown in jail. (Unless, you are at the Schererville Walmart at 10pm on a Friday night--then spanking is legal :) Just kidding.
