My Heart is Painful...

....says the little one, little hands clutching her chest, her smile, tipping downwards as she falls dramatically to her knees.All this, just because I raised my voice at her for deliberately scattering cheerios all over the floor. With such dramatics at 2 years of age, i shudder to think what else she'll come up with when older! Just the other day, after being quite the pest at the gramps, she managed to save herself from a scolding with 5 simple words "grandma, you look so cute!" I wonder when children learn how to be cute and charming and devious all at once. And I am the constant sucker who falls for it. EVERY TIme. How to discipline when she's at her cutest? Once again, if she turns into a real brat, it will be my fault. Everytime I don't discipline when i should, the hubby gives me the "you're dealing with her teachers and principal next time" look. So i should toughen up and practice my "think you're so cute? Not! and you're not getting away with it" look...until she smothers me with kisses and "mummy, love you bee bee much!" and then I'm mush again.
