Today is Piper's ACTUAL Birthday. It started out in the typical Piper fashion. She didn't want to get out of bed but Chloe wanted to see her open her presents before she had to go to school so with much PRODDING ( I can't wait until she's 12!!) she finally arose out of bed. She sauntered downstairs and finally made it to the table where her presents were waiting (except for the one that Taffy had already started tearing into). She took her sweet ol' time opening her gifts and then we started singing "Happy Birthday" and then the fit started and she fell to the floor crying (see photo). She has warned us for a month now that she didn't want us to sing to her but we tried anyway and she was NOT HAPPY!! I didn't even try the breakfast in bed thing--I asked her last night and got a definite "NO!" Other then that, the day was pretty normal and uneventful. In the evening, we headed over to Jordan Creek Mall with Cael, Avery and Melissa (our neighbors and Cael is Piper's best friend). We walked around the lake, ate supper, played at the play area and ended it with another walk around the lake. Of course Piper through a FIT!! She didn't take a nap today and she was tired and I wouldn't let her ride in the stroller (the seat was taken by Aftyn). I told her that when she is 4, she can't ride in the stroller any more. She's too big. She was ok with that answer until it started getting late, then that wasn't acceptable to her anymore. If any of you watch "Jon and Kate plus 8", pay attention to Madi--that's Piper to a T!! VERY SCARY! She's either really HAPPY and easy to please or a BEAR and can't not be reasoned with!! Spanking doesn't even work when she's in that zone. It's very FRUSTRATING so we watch Jon and Kate ALL THE TIME (our family's favorite show right now) to get pointers in how to deal with Piper. So far, it's not working.
A couple people called to wish Piper a Happy Birthday today including both of her grandma's--she wouldn't take the calls. How RUDE is that?? She would have nothing of well wishers today. So typical of her. Yesterday she got a card from Aunt Pat--BIG HIT!! She loves to get mail so way to go, Pat!! She's either HOT or COLD and nothing in between. Some people ask if I can believe she's 4 already and I must say with Piper, it's taken a LONG TIME for her to turn 4. I say FINALLY she's 4!! I'm waiting for her to grow out of her fits. She would stay 2 forever if she could. She likes to be "babied". Teagan turning 5 took me by surprise (that went FAST) but Piper is so HIGH MAINTENANCE that is seems like FOREVER AGO that she was born!! Enough for now...-AS
