Holding Still

My lovely, sweet Kaci was not being so lovely and sweet this morning. I was trying to get her ready and she was extra wiggly. She was dancing and bopping her head as I tried to do her hair.

I said: Kaci, Hold Still Please

She continued to dance and sing and wiggle.

I said: Kaci, Please Hold Still

She continued to dance and sing and wiggle.

I said Kaci, HOLD STILL (Notice how I lost the politeness in my voice?)

That got her attention a little, and she held still for a few seconds, but then continued to dance and sing and wiggle.

I said: WHAT PART OF HOLD STILL DON'T YOU GET???

I am not joking even a bit about how she answered that. She looked at me with the sweetest eyes, and in the most serious voice, she said:

The holding still part

I love my kids. I lost every ounce of my bad mood and we laughed together! (She did hold still after that and her hair even turned out cute!)
