Fast forward 1.5 years - it is a whole different story. Emery has absolutely no manners and is VERY bossy! When she wants something, not only does she not say please, she is demanding with everything that she wants. It goes a little like this:
"Mama, get me milk!"
"Mama, you clean up the mess!"
"Papa, carry me to the bathroom"
"Papa, feed me now"
Do you get what I mean? I don't know what happened to this little girls' manners, but I need to get them back, like, yesterday. She is driving me crazy and I'm not used to being bossed around this much. When I tell people at work about this, they respond with, "I wonder where she learned to be bossy?" But, in my defense, if I boss you around, I at least have manners and say please and thank you.
Oh, to make matter worse, the other day in the car, she says to me, "Mama, you are being bossy". Talk about ATTITUDE!
If any of my blogger friends have tips on how to restore manners, please leave comments ...

I swear the same thing happened to Lauren when she turned 3. They say "Terrible Twos"..but I thought 3 was much worse. She also became less obedient! Well, the only trick I remember is telling her that I will only do things for her if she asks nicely..so I would ignore any improper requests as if I didn't hear her and wait for her to ask with a please. Good luck!
