Self-Aware

For the last couple of weeks I've been enjoying Heidi's little drama-fest that she has when she's upset and feeling like she's not getting enough attention for her drama. She's started interrupting her own crying jag to say, "Mama, I cryin'!"

But last night, really took the cake. She was way over-tired. I'm talking two hours past bedtime tired. We were driving home from Aunt Shay's volleyball game and she was enjoying the view of the moon when it went behind the trees, causing overtired hysterics, "my moon! my moon!" Josh and I were both ignoring her because we knew she was just overtired and no amount of reasoning would satisfy.

And then, in between her cries, she suddenly says...

"Hey Mom!" What, honey?

"I better! I not cryin'! I not cryin'!" I'm glad honey.
