Screamer

My Sydney is a screamer.  We are all on eggshells half the time just to make sure we don't piss her off cuz her fits are crazy loud and ridiculous.   She hits, she is just so moody.  Truly it's when she is nice she's very nice but when she is bad she is rotten!  She can be sooo sweet and it's just heart melting but wipes out the good when she's bad cuz she's embarassingly rotten.  When she is reprimanded she say's "she talked to me"...I've heard her say that several times now...once when Gena "talked" to her about Ainslee's tinkerbell swimsuit not being hers, and when our neighbor "talked" to her when Syd screamed at her for not letting her in her home.  When Mike and I give her a warning "WARNING" she just repeats us, and it's irritating.  I know it falls back to me not being persistent and consistent, so I am back to the drawing board and I need to make some time for her one on one, since I have the gut feeling she is feeling the middle child syndrome. 

Well, I best go start my day...I was up at 6:30, said goodbye to hubby as he left for work and been at the computer since...just blog hoppin and now Christie is up and we've got to start our day!
Have a beautiful day!

I can see it in Daniel, but he's the second of four, so I guess he could be middle too! If we could just get over the constant fighting between Daniel and Kaylee, I think that would be great!
