4 Going On 14

(Aurora with her cousins this summer)

I already feel like Aurora is a teenager. The things that she says and understands just blows me away. She really has a good wit and can make little comments or retorts that are so much like an adult! The other night however, it was a little TOO much like an adult!

I can't even remember what she did, but she was doing something and I told her not too and she started talking back. I told her that when I tell her something, she's to say, "Ok Mom" and do it, and NOT talk back to me. Mad at me, she went to her room. About 5 minutes later, I went in her room to put clothes away and she tells me, "I am staying in my room until YOU come talk to me and tell me you are sorry." EXCUSE ME?!?! (Which is exactly what I said to her LOL!) I could not believe what I had just heard. I told her that I am the parent and it is my job to correct her when she is not being good and I don't have to apologize for it. We had quite the talk and then I told HER that she can come out of her room when she is ready to tell ME she was sorry. She came out 1 minute later and apologized. LOL!! This girl is going to be a challenge when she really IS 14!!!!!
