Stubborn Child of Mine

I knew from the very beginning that Turtle would be wayyyyy different from Roo.

Roo listens when I talk (well, for the most part), does what needs to be done and is overall, an awesome big girl. Rarely does she act out on me.

Turtle... whoa, Turtle is a whole different breed.

She is insane.

She does not listen. She acts up all the time. She could give a shit about what I tell her to do.

But God, she is cute.

She does all of this with a smile on her face... until the tears come.

Until I am firm in my decision (like going to bed), and then the devil in her comes out.

And boy, it's not pretty.

She is so headstrong too. When I tell her to go to bed and she doesn't want to, she pitches a serious fit.

And she will hold firm to that temper tantrum until she passes out from exhaustion or she gets up out of bed and comes and finds me.

If I'm feeling soft, I'll cuddle her and then put her back in her bed, which tends to start it all over again.

I love that child, I love her spirit... I could just do without so much attitude.
