IS GROWING UP AND SOON WILL BE A TEENAGER BY THE WAY SHE ACTS WITH HER SASSINESS AND HER STUBBORN LITTLE WAYS. THESE PAST 2 WEEKS SHE HAS TESTED MY PATIENCE, THAT'S FOR SURE! ABOUT A MONTH AGO SHE STARTED THROWING A FIT ABOUT GOING TO BED AND NORMALLY SHE LOVES TO BE LEFT ALONE IN HER CRIB, SHE WAS NEVER A CUDDLY BABY AND I ACTUALLY HAVE NEVER HAD HER FALL ASLEEP IN MY ARMS BY CRADDLING HER, UNLIKE MY MOM 
SHE HAS BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE TAIGE FALL ASLEEP IN HER ARMS I BELEIVE TWICE. SHE WAS ALWAYS SUCH A GOOD BABY. SO AFTER THROWING A COUPLE FITS AND KICKING NATE OUT OF OUR BED TO SLEEP WITH HER MOM A FEW TIMES I TOLD NATE, "MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR A BIG GIRL BED." NATE AGREED. 
SO AFTER SETTING HER BED UP MAKING IT SOUND SO FUN TO BE A BIG GIRL AND SLEEP IN A BIG BED LIKE MOMS AND DADS SHE THREW ANOTHER FIT. DIDN'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HER BED. SO THAT NIGHT NATE AND I TRIED TO PLAY SUPER NANNY AND KEEP PUTTING HER BACK TO BED WITHOUT TALKING TO HER, FINALLY AFTER 3 1/2 HOURS OF THE BATTLE NATE GAVE UP AND SHUT HER DOOR TIGHT, SHE SCREAMED AND SCREAMED AND KICKED AT HER DOOR FINALLY AFTER THE 5 HOUR RUCUS NATE SAID, "I'LL SLEEP ON THE COUCH" HE PUT TAIGE IN BED WITH ME AND SHE WAS OUT IN 2 MINUTES FLAT. SO THE BED THING IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT HER NEW THING IS STRIPPING OFF ALL OF HER CLOTHES TO RUN IN THE NUDE. SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MODESTY WHAT SO EVER. SHE DOESN'T WANT A THING TO DO WITH NATE, SHE HAS TO MAKE SURE SHE SEE'S ME OR SHE STARTS SCREAMING AND CRYING. NATE TOOK ME OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY ON THURSDAY AND HAD HIS AUNT WATCH THE KIDS, I GUESS TAIGE SCREAMED AND CRIED FOR 20 MINUTES AFTER SHE SAW ME GET INTO THE CAR. (sorry again Jodi and Troy!) YESTERDAY SHE HAD ME RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH HER. I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME CRAFTS DONE FOR THE OPEN HOUSE I HAD LAST NIGHT, AND EVERY TIME I TURNED MY HEAD SHE WAS BUTT YES I SAY BUTT NAKED! SHE FIRST CAME INTO THE KITCHEN AFTER I HAD GOTTEN HER READY FOR THE DAY WITH ALL OF HER CLOTHES OFF SO I TURNED HER BACK AROUND AND WENT AND PUT HER CLOTHES BACK ON. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER SHE CAME IN AND TOLD ME, "MOMMY POOP" SO I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD TO GO POOP SHE SAID YES, SO I TAKE HER IN SET HER ON THE TOILET AND AFTER SITTING FOR 2 SECS. SHES SAYS,"DONE MOMMY" WELL NOTHING HAPPENED SO I JUST FIGURED SHE WAS PLAYING, SO I GET HER DRESSED WITH A NEW DIAPER AND NO LIE 2 MINUTES LATER SHE COMES BACK INTO THE KITCHEN BUTT NAKED AGAIN AND SAYS, "POOP MOMMY" WITH A BIG SMILE. SO I FOLLOW HER INTO HER ROOM AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS POOP ON HER BEDROOM FLOOR WITH HER DIAPER NO WHERE IN SIGHT. SHE HAD THROWN HER DIAPER IN THE GARBAGE STILL DRY AND CLEAN AS CAN BE. SO AFTER PUTTING HER IN TIME OUT FOR A MINUTE I GET HER DRESSED AGAIN. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER SHE CAME OUT OF THE PLAY ROOM BUTT NAKED AGAIN SO I GOT HER DRESSED WITH A DIAPER ON, THEN 5 MINUTES LATER I WENT TO PUT HER DOWN FOR A NAP, AS I LIFTED HER UP I FELT SOMETHING RUNNING DOWN MY HAND AND SURE ENOUGH SHE WAS PEEING, SHE HAD TAKEN HER DIAPER OFF AND PUT HER PANTS BACK ON, SO SHE PRETTY MUCH WET HER PANTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. SHE DOESN'T LIKE HER DIAPERS APPARENTLY AND SHE'S NOT INTO HER UNDERPANTS RIGHT NOW EITHER. ANY SUGGESTIONS?!? ON A HAPPIER NOTE SHE IS STILL MY LITTLE PRINCESS(with attitude) AND IS ALWAYS MAKING ME LAUGHSHE IS ALWAYS DANCING AROUND AND SINGING, LAST WEEK IN SACRAMENT THE LADY IN FRONT OF US TURNED AND SAID,"SHE NEEDS TO BE IN THE WARD CHOIR." SHE'LL TRY AND SING THE LOUDEST SO SHE MAKES SURE YOU CAN HEAR HER. I DID ASK THE DOCTOR IF SHE IS HAVING ANXIETY OR SOMETHING AND HE TOLD ME THAT 1-2 YEAR OLDS GO THROUGH AN SEPERATION ANXIETY, SO HE THINKS TAIGE IS GOING THROUGH IT. HOPEFULLY SHE GETS OVER IT FAST BECAUSE IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! I HOPE THIS IS HER TERRIBLE 2'S AND SHE'LL OVERCOME THIS PHRASE BEFORE HER 2ND BIRTHDAY IN 2 WEEKS!
