a case of the grumpies

poor little ella. she's two. the terrible twos. she is just starting to go through the afternoon without a nap. but every day in the late afternoon she gets a case of the grumpies. she grunts and groans and yells at everyone. but sometimes she just says the funniest things! and when we laugh at her she gets even more grumpy! today i tried to talk to her and she said, "that's IT for talking!" i said, "ok. i love you!" and she yelled back in her grumpiest voice, "i love you too!" the other day i told her she was my precious angel, and she yelled back, "no i'm not! i'm hunny bunny!" no one can escape her grumpiness --- she yells at all of us and gives glares to total strangers. but after a little cuddle and a snack she's usually back to her sweet self. :)
