Fiesty Female

Morgan was disappointed b/c I told her to go up to her room for a quiet time.

Morgan: "It sounds like you're jealous." (Huh?)

Emily: "It sounds like you're not listening to me."

Morgan: "It sounds like we're not friends."

Emily: "Yes, we are."

Morgan: "No, we're not."

Repeat last two lines about 5 times.

Laughing... this testing of authority tennis match is a daily occurance. In fact, I have adopted an old adage my Dad used to say when it comes to disciplining Morgan: "choose your battles". I try to use humor, firmness, grace and consistency.

No matter how fiesty you are, little Morgan, I still love ya.
