More Experiences Living with a Three Year Old

Someday poor Abby will not appreciate all the blog entries that specifically concern her but hopefully she'll understand that at three years of age, you just tend to do and say "bloggable" things!

So, two days ago, I was cleaning up in the kitchen and I called down to Annika in the basement that it was time to practice her piano. Normally when I tell her this she gets upset and tries her best to stall but on this particular day she piped right up and said, "OK!" and came running upstairs. I was in the process of praising her for having such a good attitude and for saying OK the first time I asked when Abby came up the stairs behind her.
Abby: We wasn't stealing your purse.
Annika: (angry look) Shhh
Abby: Really, mom. We wasn't stealing it!
Annika: Abby, you weren't supposed to tell her!
Lisa: Did you have my purse downstairs?
Abby: Yeah! We was under the pool table with it!
Annika: (glaring at Abby) We were organizing it for you. It was supposed to be a surprise!
Abby: And taking it apart. (And now she's starting to realize something might be wrong....) Annika did it.
Annika: ugh!

Don't you just hate it when your little sister rats you out? Kids are such a riot!

Maybe it's because Abby isn't ours, but she seems too cute to get mad at!

I have to keep rooting for the second-born. Go Abby!
