She has also developed an interesting habit of telling on herself. She told me she lied to get out of trouble. "I didn't want a cloudy. I wanted to keep my sunny." Lying so she could stand next to a certain boy in line (don't get me started on her boy-crazyness!). Thoughts of "You know better, you are too smart to do that, how would you feel if...", to my threats of her being sent to the pricipal's office and being held back in kindergarten. How am I supposed to know what is normal for a five year old? She is smart and strong willed-a fabulous and frustrating combination. I didn't want to dismiss her behavior as being fine since she's only five years old. Yes, she is five, but my expectations aren't always based on that factor.
