"Oh she looks grumpy." says little e about a Mary Engelbreit illustration.
I explain that the caption under the cross armed, pouty girl is "Must. Change. Attitude."
"She needs to think about her choices" says little e who has, apparently, been listening to me after all.
"She should go kiss someone."
"Kiss someone?" I ask.
"Yes, that is how I keep from having bad days."
About 15 minutes later little e informs me that today "I will go to the potty whenever you ask me to. And I will wipe my bottom... if you want."
She's a girl who knows the way to my heart... kisses and good potty etiquette. What more could a momma ask for?
