All About Bean.

Well. Lexa is handful. She has been testing every fiber of Mommy's being lately. She is smart and she uses it well. Sigh.

This is how she dressed to go to Family Video. Those would be Nike shorts (on backwards mind you), dress shoes, a yellow t-shirt. And a hat. It is useless to argue. Just work it girl.

Oh bedtime. Bedtime has brought the majority of the difficulties. Lexa seems to have figured out how to open her gate. And why oh why would you stay in your room when you can open your gate? Mommy has tried everything from being nice, to being angry, to being sad, to giving rewards, to ignoring. This would be the ignoring. Lexa sat on the stairs for no less than 45 minutes. Finally she yawned and fell asleep on the landing. Because she technically still won as she was not in her bed.

This morning. She cried and cried. Oh why you ask? No reason. Just cause. Then she gets to Tricia's and says she can't stay because she has a cough (insert fake coughing). Mommy says, 'ok call if you are coughing too much'. A couple hours later Mommy receives a text from Tricia...in Lexa's words, 'I'm not coughing yet but in a little while I will and we will have to call Mommy'.

And to top it all off....she has started carrying the Bible with her. Mommy has no idea why but it really is fitting that in all her terror she walks around like this...with a smile and the Bible tucked under her arm.

 Thus concludes the recent tornado known as Lexa.
