Skylar is a 3 year-old girl… and one thing that seems to be common with girls her age is they like to be a little “bossy” sometimes… and as long as she’s not too nuts about it, Gina and I usually let it go..
She definitely likes to be able to “set the rules”, “be in charge”, or “be the enforcer” every now and then. We figure that she sees us in that role most of the time (onto her, that is), so she likes to try it out as well. This includes:
- disciplining her baby doll when her baby doll acts whiny/fussy
- telling the dog and the cat to wait and be patient
- yelling at food to get in her mouth when it falls off the fork
The other day, she was sitting on the potty and yelling the following (pretty loudly)… “Poopies, I told you to come out. Do you hear me? Poopies, it’s time to come out. If you don’t listen to me, you are going to get a timeout…… I’m going to count to 5, and if you don’t come out, I’m going to give you a timeout……. 1… 2…3…4…5… Okay, go to timeout!”
Now I thought this was hilarious.. although I admit that I was a bit worried, as Skylar’s timeout-place is the guest room.. I was half-expecting to walk into the guest room later in the day and see a poopie sitting there..

We have been really bad about taking pics lately..
Here are a couple things to share though:
Here’s a pic of a bunch of her classmates, Michael, Steven, and Julia (and Steven’s little sis, Michael’s little sis, and Julia’s little sisters)
And the weather has been AMAZING lately.. Skylar has been playing outside a lot lately, and is getting pretty good at her bike-riding. Yesterday, she finally got the hang of using the brake (that took awhile to learn!)
In the vid, we are biking past Jane’s house, so she starts talking about her..
Have a great week! -pete
