Bath Failure and Opposition

I know there is supposed to be opposition in all things, but I think 2 1/2 year olds give that phrase a whole new meaning. I love my little Lilly, but she does not want to do anything I need her to do and sometimes it is just hard. My frustration all started after I picked her up from the sitter last night. She was so bossy and yelling at me to get her drinks and snacks and dinner. I was moving as fast I could and I try to get her to speak to me in a nice voice but sometimes it doesn't work. Then I took her with me to Young Women's and that was frustrating because she kept running all over the church and I was trying to participate with the girls and she was all over the place. Then after we got home I needed her to take a bath and she just did not want to and the laundry basket thing wasn't working and I think I just was done. Then I got a few hours peace and then this morning she would not get dressed. I just got sick of chasing her and making her do it so I dropped her off at my Mom's in her pajamas. I am bummed to because Spencer is gone and last time he was gone Lilly and I really bonded and had fun and I was looking forward to that, but this week it just did not happen. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and hopefully things will go better.
