I've created a monster!

Ever since Caroline has been home, I have always told her that she is pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, etc. It didn't take her long to start standing in front of her mirror saying: "Mama, I so pretty", "Mama, I gorgeous", which at first I thought was oh so cute, but now I tell her that we really don't say those things about ourselves but we say them about other people, that they are compliments and you should say "thank you" when someone says that to you. That went over like a lead balloon as she is still saying it. Yesterday was Caroline's first birthday party she has ever been invited to and it was held at Libby Lu. If you click on the link it will tell you all about it. OMG, she is now a certifiably self loving, narcissistic 5 year old! And I am going to pull my hair out! Here are some pictures from yesterday:










It really was a treat for both Caroline and myself. I got to stay and watch all the fun, and really see Caroline in an evironment other than at home and with just me. She still needs some social skills training, i.e. eating her ice cream with her hands when she couldn't find her spoon (not very princess like!) and picking her nose with wet, blue, glittery nail polish! but she is doing great!

In other news: Daisy's tumor came back benign! Yeah!! She is doing fantastic and healing up very nicely.
