Everyone we've ever met says the same thing about Becca Boo. She is going to be leader. "You've got one mega leader on your hands!" Geez........I'm beginning to think that folks just might be right.
Do you know how many times she's been in "trouble" for telling others what to do, for telling others how to do it, for talking back to folks who tell her to stop that/or for telling HER how to do something???? Um, let's see, how many granules of sand are at the beach?!?!?! I do see potential in her. I honestly do. BUT....her personality is one that can be very abrasive at times (especially to those who don't have a clue of what she is trying to show them/tell them something), or super compassionate or super "thinker mode".
Trying to tame or reel in this side of my daughter can be quite challenging. She knows right from wrong. Doesn't always do it, mind you, but knows it. Has a HUGE understanding of what God (and her parents) expect of her, as a 5 year old little girl. But........trying to reign in the strong side of her is proving to be a feat, I'm telling you. If you have no clue about strong willed children, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE!
For days now.......which now seems like weeks on end, Becca has been coming home with either Yellow or a Red color from daycare. (They use the green = great kid all day, or the yellow = had a mishap or two, and red = JUST ONE COMPLETELY BAD DAY! Try again tomorrow.) Becca's mostly had yellows, but the red color has shown it's evil head twice now.
Talk about nasty. Look at Matthew? Happy, go lucky, even keeled, nothing bothers him, and the opposite? Becca! Oy, yoy, oy! And this is at age 5. I cannot imagine what age 11 - 20 will bring! Lord help us! Please.......
She wants to cook, she wants to wash dishes, she wants to clear the table, she wants to clean her room, she wants to clean Matthew's room (to show him how its REALLY done), she wants to vaccuum, she wants to clean their bathroom (kids bathroom, um, NOT! not yet anyway), she wants to practice her handwriting, she wants to read, she wants to be one up on everyone else her age, she wants to meet her new school teacher, she wants to school shop already, she wants to OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! This is what she has told me in the last month! Now do you get why I'm just flabbergasted at most of this.........I'm NOT like this. Daddy isn't like this. WHERE IS SHE GETTING THIS FROM!?!?!?!?!
I have a headache already.
Momma Kooky.........getting more grey hair by the second.

Not that sweet little Becca Boo?!?!! Haha!!
Then again, if ya gotta have the yellow and red days, might as well take advantage of her WANTING to cook, clean, vacuum, etc. (while it lasts!). Dobson says that strong will will serve her well some day. Love that she wants to clean Matthew's room - to show him how it should be done. Can she come visit TL&A??
Praying for your gray hair (esp. in 10-15 years from now!!),
