Bossy Pants

Eileen is either going to be an only child or an oldest child.  Either way, she's got the characteristic "bossiness" down to a fine art.

She loves to play with her Little People house and farm.  Really, she loves to make the people and animals do exactly what she wants them to do.  The kid likes being in control.

The following photos look like Eileen is clapping for something.  Truthfully, she is clapping.  But she is doing it so that we will imitate her.  That's right... she is telling us to give her some applause.

 And these last photos... they are of Eileen telling us that it's time to go.  She is ready to leave the house and she is directing us to follow her.

"Seriously, mom... hurry up!"

Honestly, I love that Eileen is so bossy determined.  I think her stubborn streak can one day serve her well.  Of course, we're going to have to work on things like compromise and getting along with others and sharing, but we'll get there.  She is one funny and neat little girl!
