Diva Moment

There is a little bit of drama living in my 13 month old Siren. Not at all sure where she gets it from either, but she sure knows how to kick up a tantrum. I’m talking throwing oneself down prostrate on the ground while wailing. Wow. I assure you this behavior has never been demonstrated for her, honest. But nevertheless, she has her “Diva” moments down to a perfect, manipulative science.

Today, for example, The Kraken stole her paci. In typical Oscar winning style, she threw herself on the ground in a heap of lament complete with real tears. Apparently my Kraken has seen enough and didn’t respond by returning the paddy mo right away. That little actress peeked up from her position just to make sure her brother was paying attention, and then promptly went back to an inconsolable heap.

The Kraken blinked first. For her acting efforts she was rewarded with her pacifier. And so the manipulation and Diva moments will undoubtedly continue. Perhaps forever. Hooray.
