Adilyn...5 going on 13????

Adilyn's attitude and behavior definitely goes in up and down cycles. She will be her little happy self for a couple weeks, then bam, for no reason crazy Adilyn shows up for a week or so. Last week we had a some rough times with our sweet 5 year old. A couple times, I swear it was a tiny window into the very dramatic teenage years that we have ahead of us...oh my! One time last week she literally yelled at the top of her lungs, "Why do I ALWAYS have to do what you guys tell me to?!?!? I never get to do what I want to do!!!" To which I calmly replied, "You have to listen to us because we are your parents. Get used to it. We will be telling you what to do for the rest of your life." To which she replied with a grunt that I thought only 13 year olds had perfected. The girl has an attitude. I am doing my best to help her learn to deal with her emotions in a calm, productive way. Seeing how she can be now and imagining how she will be when puberty hits...I am terrified.
