Saying "No"

This week seems to have gone by quickly and slowly at the same time. Is that possible? Lots of laundry has been done, rooms have been cleaned, Joe and Luca have been fed, errands have been run and I finished a book. While doing said laundry, I put Luca in the basket. I couldn't walk down the hallway with her and the basket without bumping my elbows (I'm not very coordinated). Luca became absolutely still and her eyes got really big. I guess it's wierd to go floating around the house on your back! :-) I also had my first real encounter with a naughty daughter. Luca was supposed to be napping but after listening to her talk and fuss for half an hour I decided to let her get up and play for a while. She was looking at her canopy when I walked in but as soon as she saw me she let loose with the “I’m angry” cry. Then, after calming her down and letting her play on her blanket, I got up to get a drink. This is where I saw her little sin nature coming through. She didn’t want me to get up! She started to throw a fit. I put my finger on her mouth and told her “no” and she stopped and smiled. But as soon as I moved, her little face scrunched up again. We went through this a couple of times until when I stood up, she stayed happy. Probably the easiest time I’ll ever have disciplining her but I really thought I’d have longer than three months before telling her “no”! Other than that one incident she’s pretty much an angel. I love her little smiles and her peaceful face when she’s asleep. And she’s getting so big! I can’t believe that November is almost over. I’m still not used to this Arizona weather, it’s really August, right?
