bad mom good mom...zero patience

so kaida always bugs me about having scissors and cuting paper....so i decided whats the harm in letting her play with kid safe scissors...thinking they were dull enough no damage could be done...wrong....she was cuting out a dinosaur for fraser...right next to me as i was rocking jaks to sleep. so i say...dont get too close to moms hair or it will get cut off...next thing you know she jabs the scissors into my head and whacks off a chunk of hair.....wow....i guess i should be glad they wernt "sharp" or i would be missing an ear.

so after a week of yelling screaming on both our parts and me wickedly beasting out my little girl i decied to let loose, be a little laied back and let kaida just have fun and be a kid!

so we pulled out the paints....it went a lot smoother than the time before...then again she is a year older right.

she had so much fun and i just stood there and tried to keep my cool
after we were done the masterpeice into the bath she went...we wont go into much detail but after about 5 liters of water all over the bathroom floor...lets just say we are back at square one
....its a work in progress

shes THREE

i can hardly belive that this little girl is 3 already.....time sure flys. i loved the two's, its the terrible three's that im having a hard time adjusting to. if things dont go exactly her way she will let you know! but we sure do love having her around....attitude and all.
here is her sad dora cake. i origanally bought a strawberry shortcake pan....but she HAD to have dora...so strawberry turned into dora. my first cake....i hated it...so from now on DQ here we come. every summer we move away right before kaidas birthday....so we had a little party at home before we moved to edmonton.
