So, I got the pacifier out again - Daddy was not happy

I asked at daycare if they thought the sign that I thought Isabella was doing for "water" was actually for water. They said no, they were pretty sure that when she did that sign she wanted her pacifier. Curses!! So many times she has asked me for her pacifier and I have given her water and I didn't even know she even remembered the pacifier. And I might just be going crazy, but now that I know - I think she knows I know - and now she's signing "pacifier" constantly. I had to give in, she was cranky, I tried giving her water, I tried giving her a blankie, she was demanding the pacifier - over and over again - and angry about it, to the point where she started throwing a tantrum and doing that back arching - making her body all stiff, sort of move. I went and gave her a pacifier. Her mood switched instantly. She was running through the kitchen giggling and being so very happy. Then she'd come over to me and show me the pacifier and giggle and run away. I felt that she was rubbing it in a little bit.

Jeff came home and I told him what I had done - he didn't approve. Jeff seems to be better at distracting her with all the rough housing and playing - I don't think she ever gives him the pacifier sign. Then Jeff left to play some basketball. She got upset and ran over to grab her coat and hat so she could go with. Seeing her try to put her hat on herself is pretty funny. It was getting close to bedtime. She signed "pacifier" to me, but I was able to distract her with some bean bags and then some books.

Today's video features Isabella "drinking" red bull energy drink. She grabbed it out of the fridge and is acting like she's drinking but it isn't even open. It seemed to give her energy!
