Over the weekend Brian and I noticed that Payton was being very defient (?) for her anyway. She usually is very good about listening when we ask her to put something away and that sort of thing. We are still struggling with the holding our hands in public and on the street, but that we aren't too worried about. Although as my belly gets bigger is may be harder to scoop her up when she plants her butt in the middle of the road! Anyway, on Tuesday I picked her up for daycare and the toddlers were just coming in from outside (Payton loves to pour sand over her head and of course that day her head was just loaded! We HATE that!) and I heard her teacher saying "Payton, we are going this way... Payton over here..." Oh, boy. They always give us a little "report card" for the day letting us know how she ate, slept, played, diapered. On this particular day at the very bottom is said "Payton was very sensitive today and would not take direction and listen to her teachers." Of course is sounded all nice, but basically her teacher told me that she could go in the opposite direction of the class, sit down and refuse to move, just not listen in general. This is a new thing at daycare. That stinker! Of course she isn't even 2 yet, and this sort of thing isn't unusual for them, but it is frustrating for us.
The county fair is in town this week, and for all of you that have never lived in the Midwest, the fair is HUGE! The Steele County Fair is actually a really big and nice fair. The town basically shuts down and families are there every day. It is funny. Yesterday Payton went to the fair with daycare to look at all the animals and that sort of thing. They tell me she did great. Thank god! I was worried about her after Tuesday! We will have to make it out there over the weekend. It can't be known that we didn't go to the fair! Some of my patients tell me that our fair is the best around and they save their fair going time until the one in Owatonna opens! It is so funny!!

Matt has been doing this high-pitched screaming thing lately that's been driving us batty. It's like he sees the baby "getting her way" by screaming so he figures he'll do it, too. He also likes to go all weak-kneed when you're trying to take his hand and bring him somewhere he doesn't want to go. Lovely. Repeat after me, "one day at a time, one day at a time..." ;-)
Each year (and day) has it's challenges...all part of learning for both parent and child. We parents didn't just get this gray hair for the fun of it !
Well Kelly, my sister's youngest sone is 14 months and he has a high pitched scream as well. It drives my sister nuts! There is no baby in the house either. He just likes to scream!
Payton was great at the fair on Wednesday, but today was back to her old tricks:) She is so silly! We keep telling ourselves "it is good thing she is so cute":)
