You sound kind of bossy, baby.

I was told this evening when I picked up Audrey that she has been stealing the other kids' snacks. Out of their hands. I thought maybe it was because she wasn't liking the snacks I was packing for her, but her teacher assured me that she enjoys her snacks just fine, but she also likes other kids' snacks. They often times will throw her their snacks, I later learned, so at least she's not always stealing the snacks. It sounds like the kids throw each other their snacks so they each get some variety...sounds like a good strategy to me...

I was then told that if she doesn't like what someone else is saying, she covers the person's mouth with her hand.

Ok, where does she learn these things?

I told Eric about these things tonight while Audrey was eating dinner. He sat down next to her in her highchair, and very seriously said to her:

"You sound kind of bossy, baby. You know you're not in charge, right?"

I like that he asked her if she knew she's not in charge. I couldn't stop laughing about his such serious demeanor that I had to leave the room. It's hard to have a serious conversation with a kid stuffing her face with a combo of meat sticks, pasta, broccoli, cheese, and pears.
