What a Morning!

This morning was loud, loUD, LOUD!! I don't know why but Sophia was not herself this morning. She is usually my reliable one. I tell her what needs to be done and she does it. This morning though, everything was dramatic! My little drama princess didn't want to go to the bathroom until it was almost too late and then she acted like the toilet lid was too heavy to lift. Then everything hurt...the door bumped her toe, she spontaneously fell, the chair touched her shoulder, the Velcro on her shoes hurt her finger...everything was painful to her. She kept going, "It hoots!" (That is how she says 'hurts'). When something hurt, she would cry very very loud! Then I made her oatmeal and after it was made, she started crying because she wanted to do it herself. COME ON!!! She was standing right beside me while I made it! Then she cried all through breakfast and James kept saying, "Hurts my ears". But then when James yelled once, Sophia started yelling that James hurt her ears. Crazy! I kept telling myself, "Only 50 minutes until school...only 30 minutes until school...etc". I think I am going to have early hearing loss. Seriously, I bet if OSHA came to my house, they would advise me to wear protective ear wear.

Thank goodness Jacob and James were awesome. In fact, James was cute this morning. He kept going around the house pretending he was the Big Bad Wolf and was blowing everything down. So cute! Jacob was just so easy going this morning too. What good boys!

Sophia finally calmed down when we got to school. I quietly mentioned to Sophia's teacher that she was having a rough morning and the teacher made her the 'special helper' of the day. I thought that was very kind of her teacher. I love their school!!
