My daughter is a social butterfly.

Thus far, she hasn’t been around too too many children but that doesn’t stop her. She beams at strangers, and offers up her hands to be picked up while were at the tea house having lunch.  She babbles to anyone that will listen, and is quite the attention whore.

Lately though, she’s been kind of a bully. This weekend was filled with children; on Saturday we went to a second birthday for my husbands, friends, son. Paige rode a pony, lurked next to a Backyardigan, and ate some pizza. She also knocked a little girl to the ground with one of her “you’re going to like this if it kills you…” hugs.  No tears were shed, but I stubbed my toe trying to catch both toddlers as they tumbled towards the cement.

Sunday, we had a BBQ of our own with one of my newest mom friend, her husband, and their daughter. Paige was playing nice for awhile, but than she started PINCHING her future BFF.  I was sort of embarrassed so I just mumbled “I forgot to mention she’s a pincher…” and all was well until Paige went on to rip bff’s pacifer out of her mouth any chance she got.  This caused tears. What a monster! After pacifcer stealing we moved on to assault and she began smacking quite forcefully if BFF wasn’t paying attention. More tears, and a lot of “no, no PAIGE NOS” later, it was bed time.

If my kid keeps up with the abuse she’s never going to have ANY friends! Behind that dimpled smile is a monster waiting to pinch you, smack you, and [while you're in shock] steal your favorite stuffed animal.
