She has developed a serious fear of creepy crawlies. At this time last year, she would crouch down and observe any little bug that might cross her path, absolutely fascinated. Then she would stomp on them. Now she lets loose the most blood curdling scream you can imagine and runs in terror of anything resembling a bug. This includes the tiny ball of string that was laying on the carpet because the vacuum missed it. I thought she was going to have a heart attack, especially when I picked it up. I've taught her that Dora enjoys playing with the bugs and will protect her from all sorts of creepy crawlies when she goes to bed, so at least she isn't afraid to go to bed after a buggy encounter anymore.
She's also developed a fascination with Project Runway (One of my favorite reality shows-talk about divas!). She really only enjoys the runway portion of the show. She'll pretend that she's walking the runway like the models (which is adorable, but I still haven't managed to catch it on camera). If she sees an outfit she particularly enjoys, I have to rewind it several times so she can "critique" it, i.e.-telling me she likes it/doesn't like, if the colors look good, etc. It's hilarious. I may have future designer on my hands here! lol
After tucking her in for bed the other night, I sat in the living room talking to B. Out of nowhere, her door opens and she states " Stop talking that. I need peace of quiet so I can sleep!" She then proceeded to close her door & stomp to her bed.
We're having more & more of these "diva" moments. She's 3 going on 13-how in the world am I going to cope when she's actually a teenager?!?!
