She's Dangerous

March 2, 2009
Saturday I ventured out by myself with my kiddie monsters. Our first stop was a park suggested by a friend. Set at the center of a huge field, the playground has 2 different jungle gyms, one for big kids and another for little kids. I won't bore you with a playground play-by-play, I just wanted to share a proud mommy moment.As Jaden clumsily climbed to the first step of the little jungle gym, a snotty faced little rat girl aged late 2s to early 3s jumped over her and landed on the step right above. She wheeled around to face Jaden and snarled through her teeth, "No!" Jaden turned her little face up to the girl and sweetly responded, "No." SFRat little girl leaned forward to about 6 inches of Jaden's face and yelled, "You can't come up here!" I was postioned into my panther-mom crouch getting ready to pounce the venemous prey when Jaden outstreched both arms, hands splayed, palms facing the girl and hissed at her! The SFRat girl's face morphed from pinch-faced mean to shocked and she turned on her heals to scurry away. J looked over to me with her own look of shock as if to say, "Wow. It really worked." This is a move she learned from the Super Fireshooter from Na Na (a.k.a. superhero brother Mikey). I am relieved to know my little T-Wonst can hold her own against others besides her big brother.

Afterwards we went out to lunch, visited a toy store (yes, they each got one) and a book store (got one there, too). The 3 of us had a really nice day together, but by the end they had successfully wracked my last nerve and I was very ready for bedtime.
