Drama Queen

Isabelle is definitely learning to express her opinion these days. She knows what she wants and she lets you know. The other night we were eating dinner. Scott asked the kids what they wanted to drink and the boys said juice bow. So I got 3 juice boxes out for the boys and Isabelle. Scott decided to put Isabelle's in a cup because she squeezes the box and it goes everywhere. I had a feeling this wasn't going to go over very well but I didn't say anything. Scott gave the boys their drinks then tried to hand Isabelle's hers. She was not going to have it. She screamed,"NO!!!" and the tears started to come. Scott tried to sugar coat it and say, "Here's your juice." Then it was, "NO,NO,NO" with kicking and hitting her tray. So of course Scott gave in and she got the juice box.
Then yesterday afternoon Easton came to me and said he and Isabelle wanted a banana. I told him to go sit on the floor and I would bring it to them. So I take the banana in there and break off a piece for Easton. I go to hand Isabelle hers and here we go again,"NO,NO,NO" and swinging her arms. I tried to hand it to her again and she took it and threw it. She wanted the whole banana(peel and all). Well it was kinda late since I had broke it off so I just decided she was going to have to cry. Well, right about that time Scott came in the door and she is just sobbing by this point. He asked what was wrong so I told him. He laughed...then said, "whats the big deal, give her the whole banana." Long story short(kind of) she got the banana.
