Smart, Alaina Smart at your service!

Get Smart get it? Don't knwo why I'm in a nostalgic mood for old TV shows. Could be because I bought the Jungle Book movie and I'm reliving my childhood. Well what I was trying to get at is I can't believe some of the things that Alaina thinks up! We were getting ready for bed and Alaina was playing with the cat in the basement. We have one of those 'feathers on a stick' toy and she was leading the cat around. There is an entertainment center downstairs with a small cabinet in the bottom. Alaina ran over, opened the door and stuck the feather end of the toy inside and started calling 'Kitty, Kitty, kitty!' When the cat poked its head inside and tried to grab the toy. Alaina yanked the toy out. Shoved the cat in and shut the door. She started running around giggling at what she had done! I'm laughing just thinking about it!
We also went to target to get diapers and wipes, a weekly occurance it seems, and she threw a fit about sitting in the cart about half way through the trip, so I put her in the main basket. I told her she had to sit down or the cart wouldn't move. So she lined herself up to sit directly on the soft diaper package (clever girl) and away we went. Every now and then she woudl stand up, I would stop and she would look around like "What happened Mom?" I'd tell her the cart couldn't go until she sat down. And at first she'd ignore me and whine, after I repeated myself, she would lower her backside until it just hovered about the diaper package and wait to see if we moved, after the third time I said the rules, she drop down and we'd start moving again. Silly girl! We enjoyed looking at the christmas trees while we were out and about! Hope everyone had a great day!

Clever girl! I especially love the "the cart won't move until you sit" game. Clever mom too!
