My Adorable, Beautiful, Violent Child


This is Baby Eva. Baby Eva gets mad sometimes. Sometimes when Baby Eva gets mad, she can be quite naughty. Some days are worse than others, Tuesday was one of those days...

It started like any other day...
Upon waking, Baby Eva called for her Mummzie to come fetch her from bed, Mummzie did not come fast enough. Baby Eva got mad. Baby Eva smashed her BabeDoll's head against the crib.

Later, one of Baby Eva's toys mistreated her. Baby Eva got mad. Baby Eva mistreated the toy ... right across the room.

At noon, Baby Eva and her Mummzie went to play with friends. Buddy Noah loves Baby Eva very much. He ran in circles around the room because he loved her so. One of those circles ran him over Baby Eva's hand. Baby Eva got mad. Baby Eva charged Buddy Noah. Twice. Mummzie was very shocked at Baby Eva's behaviour! Who had taught her to headbutt??

At snacking time Baby Eva was displeased with Mummzie's offerings. Baby Eva decided she wanted her "kibble" gone and dispatched each bit to the floor. Mummzie told Baby Eva that this was a no-no. Baby Eva got mad. Baby Eva did not want her cereal. She dispatched them again from her tray to the floor. Mummzie reminded Baby Eva that this was a no-no and took the kibble away. "Baby Eva, would you like some toast instead?" Baby Eva was still mad. She looked her Mummzie in the eye and picked up a piece of imaginary kibble and, with added fury, flung it from her tray. Baby Eva was being very naughty indeed.

In desperation, Mummzie called her Mummzie. "Where has my sweet baby gone to?" she cried. "Welcome to Toddlerdom," her Mummzie laughed. "Don't worry, dear, there's grace there too."

  3. Who couldn't love that face! It is her "mummzie's" face reincarnated, BTW! Along with the tendency toward "strong self expression" shall we say? I agree with Meghann's comment about endless grace in sanctification! (And you'll get a lot of laughs in the process---just try to muffle them when Miss Eva's watching!) Love my girlies!! Mimi
