Or should I say Disturbing...
At what point do I start to worry? There are no problems at school, but at home, it's another story.
These are a handful of quotes from Apani, in just the past few days.
"I don't want to live with my family anymore."
"I hope that I'll be happy when I grow up."
"You don't care about me!"
"Let's talk about all the things you don't like about me."
"I want to cut you up and make you bleed."
"I hate everybody."
"I know you want to cut me up so I can die because you don't care about me and don't love me."
A conversation.
"I wish I could have some candy too"
"I bet you do, but you've been yelling and calling Kaitlyn names the entire ride home."
"I also called my family idiots!!"
Where in the world does a 4-year-old come up with this stuff?
The hateful things come up when she's punished...so I imagine she says it because she's upset. She has to punish me, I guess. However, do these things have to be so disturbing?

On a good note ...
Maddy is talking up a storm. She's like a little sponge and every day she is picking up more. So I started a list of all the things she can say and it's quite extensive...I think, anyway. How many words can a 20 month old say?
It's made things a lot easier when she wants something, however, when I don't understand her, it makes her tantrums much worse.
Here's a list, mainly for my amusement, when I can't remember these days.
