My Grand Daughter will be 3 the 29th of May.

Up to now all PaPa has had to do for discipline was to threaten a timeout. She would stop whatever she was doing, fall on the floor and sob. (PaPa would just about be on the floor with her).

A week ago, she was up for the afternoon. We were flunking nap and I threatened a time out and she said she wanted it. Nothing worked. She stood in the corner for 5 minutes and turned around and laughed at my wife and I.

Yesterday, she told me to take a time out when I tried to get her to bed for her nap. Finally I won this battle, and she napped.

She got hold of scissors a few months ago and trimmed the hair of two of her dolls. Then, she took them to her mother and said that her hair was prettier than her dolls!

I watched her and her one year old brother from 9:30 am until about 7 pm yesterday basically by myself. She is a high attention/maintenance young lady. Her bro is one of if you let me alone for 30 seconds, I will search and destroy everything in the house!

I Slept like I had been drugged last night!

I can sympathize with you!!!!!!!!

You're granddaughter sounds exactly like my daughter!!! And there is a grandson in the mixture----you're a good man!

I just thank goodness that my husband has no more desire to have another child than I do. It is all we can do to keep up with the one we've got!!!

The names may change through the generations because of the females of a family, but the history doesn't change. My daughter only need go back 6 generations to her Uncle - Nathan Hale. She will never be permitted to tolerate revisionist history. I didn't get it as a kid, and my husband got thrown out of most history classes because he wouldn't tolerate it (his parents stuck up for him).

Like I said earlier - I don't hang out at FR justbecause of the FRiendships I've made!
