Interactions with a Rascal

Here are a few of our recent interactions:

Amora is starting to be naughty. I say, "Amora, do you want a time-out?" She says, "K," and prances to time-out.

At church, another child is playing with her toy. She snatches it and gives her a stare down. She comes to me where I explain that it's nice to share with our friends. She says, "No. Nope."

At dinnertime, she grabs a handful of corn and throws it on the ground (I am at the sink washing dishes). I run over as her daddy tells her no. She stares at her daddy in defiance and throws her entire plate, then her fork, and lastly her milk.

We are at the grocery store. She grabs a can of pineapple juice to put in the cart (her favorite grocery store activity). I tell her that we don't need it and walk to her to put in away. She starts running and throws the pineapple juice halfway across the store (after it rolls a good deal).

She falls off her new toddler bed almost every night and cries for me to get her. I rush in the room, searching for my little girl. All I see are two feet. She is stuck under the bed.

When I'm in another part of the house, Amora stays where she is and yells, "Mommy! Mommy!"

Amora got a set of stuffed dogs. When you put their noses together, it says "I love you!" Amora proudly repeats this with the exact same inflection.

Tell me, do I have a prayer in the world? How can they be so cute all the time, especially when they're naughty?
