You CAN always get what you want

My little girl has more determination that an athlete in a Nike commercial. She does not quit. She is relentless. When she wants something she will do whatever it takes to get it. If you put in on the couch she will climb within reach. If you put it on the head rest of the couch she will continue climbing. She will go over you, under you, she will literally stick her fingers in your eyeballs on the way to her prize. She has no compassion just an eye single to that which she wants.
She has recently learned the age old baby tool of screaming. I gave her one little sip of an orange Julius in the mall the other day. She wanted more. I thought it was bad for her and didn’t want to giver her more. She screamed. I gave her more. She stopped screaming. I took it away. She wanted more. Like I said determined. Andria and I are trying to decide where she gets it from. If you call it determined she gets it from both of us. If you call it stubborn, she gets it from her mom. Just kidding, the kid never had a chance as far as being “determined” goes. I can only hope that when she is older she will put it to some good use. I hope she will have the work ethic of an NBA forward rather then the stubbornness of a conservative talk show host.
She is getting so big and so fun. Andria and I both feel so blessed that we get to spend so much time with her.

That is funny! Travis says that our little girl is going to be stubborn just like I am. We will see if she is persistent like he is.
