Pocket Full of Sunshine


Our little Shae, which we often refer to as Sunshine, is getting to be quite the little stinker! Now that she is four, she is very OLD and mature and she reminds us of that daily. Last night after I put Haylie and Tinley to bed I was paying some bills downstairs. Shaelee kept running in the office and reporting on Haylie...it went something like this.......


Shae: "Mom, Haylie can't sleep" or "Mom, Haylie really needs you to lay by her".


This happened about 200 times and each time I patiently (yeah right!) said....


me: Shae, leave your sister alone and she will fall asleep.


Of course Shaelee didn't and when I finally finished my business downstairs Haylie was still awake. Shaelee wanted to go in and check on her again, when I said......


me: SHAE IF YOU GO IN THERE ONE MORE TIME YOU ARE IN SOOOOOOOO MUCH TROUBLE.


Shae: I'm going to tell....


me: Oh yeah, who are you going to tell?


Shae: Tinley (who was already asleep on the top bunk)


me: If you step one foot in that room you will get hot sauce!! (the ultimate threat in our house!)


Shae: (hand on hips and doing the home-girl head bob) I won't walk in, I will just put my head in and tell her!


I must admit that was pretty cleaver. She is getting way too smart for me. If she is figuring out these loop holes already, what am I going to do when she is 16!?!
