Little Pooper

Today is my day off and I would like to take the time to talk about one of the little girls that I nanny for. For confidential  purposes I am going to call her Little Pooper.

Lately Little Pooper has been dropping gum out of her mouth onto "Play Equipment" causing me grief because i am the one who has to scrape it up and deal with a crying child. Then I get things like "YOU'RE MEAN!!" and "If i get another piece of gum i promise not to drop it!!". And being the "Little Sucker" that I am i fell for it once and gave her another piece to enjoy because i thought "Well, she accidentally dropped it once.. and I'm sure it wont happen again.." WRONG! Two minutes later I found her at the top of the slide looking at the piece of gum that had just fallen out of her mouth.

Some Mom's do not allow their kids to have gum but i will tell you why i do. My girls fight like Cats and Dogs, and one way to get them to stop fighting is to give them gum. So instead of filling their mouth with nasty words, it's filled with gum. See my logic? And they love to eat. They're not obese by any means but they eat quite a lot of food everyday and so if we're out and about and they're hungry i give them gum to satisfy the hunger before the next meal and/or snack.

Another thing that Little Pooper loves to do is get up from nap, and then when I catch her she quickly says "I love you Kala!!!" as if saying i love you, will cover up her naughty behavior. But i usually say something like this "I love you.. now go back to bed." haha.

I love my Little Pooper truly! She is so sweet and even when she does naughty things i can't help but love her. I guess that's how it is with most kids-despite their flaws and blunders, you can't help but see how beautiful they are both on the inside and the outside.
