I am "IN CHARGE"

We are in so much trouble when Kira gets older. She is already a schemer and a planner. She knows what she wants and figures out how to get it. One day, we were going to Mason's basketball game. On our way there, Kira asked if "her Kim" was going to be there. "Her Kim" is Kira's favorite person in the whole world. Whenever we have to leave Kim, Kira cries and cries. It is pretty pathetic. If I didn't know that Kira loved me, I might get a complex.

But back to the game.... On our way into the game, I told Kira that we weren't going to stay very long because we had to go watch Sissy play. She said "OK." We got to the game and watched for the first half. I told Kira we were leaving and she started to hide behind Kim. Kim started laughing and told me why. When we first got to the game, Kira climbed on Kim's lap and whispered "I not go to Sissy's game" several times to Kim. When Kim asked what Kira was going to do, Kira said "I go your house." (Guess where Kira went after the game)

I might not have realized how scheming Kira was except that this was not the first time. Kira was at Kim's house one night to play and Kim called and told me I had to come get Kira because she was not going to be mean and bring her home. Every time Kim suggested they get in the car, Kira would start crying. Kim even tried telling Kira that they were just going to come get Kira's blanket and Kira told Kim to go get it and Kira would wait with Kaulin. I went over there to pick her up. When I got there, Kira sat on Kim's lap and wouldn't come near me. When we talked about where she was going to sleep, Kira said she would sleep with Kim. Finally, I said I would be lonely without her and asked who would sleep with me. She said "Kaulin" (Kim's husband). Kira figured she was taking Kaulin's spot, so Kaulin could take her spot.

Her favorite thing to do when she is in trouble is tell everyone else that they are naughty and that they don't like her. She is excellent at turning on fake tears and fake crying when she doesn't get her way. Sometimes I have to turn away because I would laugh if I didn't. This shirt was inherited from Emily, but it is definitely true. It says "I may be little but I am definitely in charge" Colton took one look at that shirt and said we know that is true.
