Pre-Halloween Scariness

A few recent hilarious stumpers from Annie:

-Where does the moon go during the day? Why can I see it sometimes during the day?

-Why do apples have stems?

-How does the medicine in the shot know how to stop the bad germs from making me sick?

-Why can't we see music?

So, I need some experts in astrology, horticulture, medicine, and physics to come to my house and have a little seminar gears toward 3-year-olds.

Lest you think that Annie has magically become a mature, thoughtful genius-child, here are a few other things she's done in the last few days:

-Cried because: her applesause was too cold, she bit her own finger while eating, Jemma's babbling was "hurting her feelings," her bike helmet (which she's worn for half a year now) was "choking" her, the toilet seat was too cold, her socks were too tight, she didn't want her hair in a ponytail, she wanted a different spoon for her yogurt. And I may be forgetting some.

-Claimed her ears hurt twice during the height of the unreasonable behavior, prompting a 5:00 p.m. add-on appointment to the doctor yesterday (right when Jemma's at her hungriest and fussiest), just to be told that there's absolutely nothing wrong with her ears.

-Threw a metal music box at Jemma's head.

-Refused to nap two days running and then melted down around 5:00 p.m.

I'm wiped out and can't believe it's only Tuesday night. Tuesday! Plus we have a week and weekend jam-packed with Halloween activities, overnight guests, birthday parties, football games, and literally one thing after another. Let's hope she can get it together tomorrow, or that little lion coming out of our front door really will be scary to someone. Me.
