She has become quite ungrateful lately....and rude...and sassy. It really isn't funny (most of the time), but I have to say that I laughed out loud at her reaction to the pajamas. I also reprimanded her later and gave her the "be grateful" lecture, but I just had to share. I also think it's especially cute that Owen tried to make her feel better about the whole thing.
After this video, I tried to convince her to put the pajamas on for a picture in front of the tree, but she ran off to her room with another mean grunt. Owen, however, was perfectly cooperative and posed for me...
And then he had the genius idea that he would just hold Hazel's pjs up beside him and maybe it would look like she had posed for the picture.
Then Hazel came out happy as can be in LAST YEAR'S pajamas and posed for a picture. I just took what I could get and thanked them both.
But I guess my guilt trip about her hurting my feelings when I picked those pajamas out for her kinda worked. She finally conceded and I happily claimed victory!!!!

What an honest reaction! Glad she got over it. Cute series of pics.
The pic of Owen holding up her jammies made me LOL!
It's so neat to start a family tradion of your own. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
How hilarious! She will love seeing that clip when she is older!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My newest foster daughter is 19 but cognitively about 3 years old and she did the same thing on Christmas morning. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth that Santa didn't bring her the telescope she wanted. She cried and wailed all through lunch. Meanwhile, mean mommy (me) kept telling her to build a bridge and get over it. She wasn't happy with that answer. :-) Somehow baby Jesus thought she should have a telescope too, so she said.
Sweet Owen...love him! Ok, and I almost wet my pants when you cheerfully said, "You're Welcome!" at the end after she screamed at you! Thanks for the laugh!
that is so stinkin cute. i love how you assume she means thank you and you tell her you're welcome. that's so what i'd do. and i read your comment on my post just before seeing this... i'm so screwed, aren't i?
Hahaha! That is AWESOME! I love that kid. Remember when I used to grunt at everything I disliked when I was little?
Ok, I have been having the same issue with Ella. late. She has been the most ungrateful B-R-A-T. I have to spell it b/c I say it so much to Jason that i am used to spelling it ...you know, parent code. What do you?I do??? It is soooo annoying, There's nothing I despise more than ungratefulness. Is that a word???
my sound isn't working, but the video was still hilarious! Miss you guys.
