The diva

So, I am not complaining but.... and I hate to write this down, I hate to think how our lives are going to change but Zoey is becoming, has become, um dare I say the word? A diva, dictator, captain of this ship and we her nervous and jumpy subjects are giving her a wide berth, accommodating this newest and frightening stage of her development. And we certainly are hoping that she will quickly outgrow this diva stage, we are doing "smallkine" discipline to help her "redirect" her reign of terror with moderate success. What sends her into spasms of rage is usually her poor big brother and he is the little diva's main target. If he is holding any toy, she demands it with a shriek of "mine, mine" and if he doesn't give it to her she goes banana's. If True is getting hugs and kisses from Mom and Dad she looses her mind and will push and hit him trying to get him off of us.

Bonkers!

True seems to be pretty nonchalant about the whole situation but it makes me a little edgy.

It's just a stage

and it makes it easier when you see how pretty she is! Her pictures are super cute but in person you just want to eat her up.
and even in this diva stage we are so crazy in love with her that we can hardly stand it!
