The perfectionist...

Of course, I am not talking about myself! Ha! I am speaking of my first born. She has to do everything perfectly the first try. In some aspects this is a wonderful attribute to have, but sometimes not so much. We tried to do the annual Mother's Day questionnaire, it was a no go. She refused to answer a lot of the questions and after each one she asked me if she got it right. We have had a hard time, nightmarish really, getting her to write her name. She would get so upset that it was not perfect she refused to try. She wanted her letters to look exactly like mine the very first time she put pen to paper. We have made much headway in that area. I just keep encouraging her to try! MiMi bought EJ & G a slip and slide, EJ could not enjoy it because she wasn't sliding just exactly like the boy on the box. She just kept trying and then would go get the box and look at it, EJ even asked me to read the directions on how to do it properly. Emery Jai is so very amazing, even in her stubbornness:)!
