On Saturday my parents kept Presley for the day and night, and they all had a really good time. That morning, before I took Presley to Poppy and SuSu's house, P1 and I had the following conversation:
Me: Presley, you get to go to Poppy and SuSu's house today and spend the night.
P1: I don't want to go to Poppy and SuSu's house and spend the night.
Me: Don't be silly. Yes you do. They are going to the Zoo! !
P1: I don't want to go to the Zoo.
She wasn't acting like she didn't want to go. So I think she just wanted to feel like she had some control. I didn't tell my mom about that conversation, which made the following email from my mom the next morning even funnier: (Please Note: Me = SuSu)
Me: Presley, are you going to take your zebra home with you?
Presley: I'm not going home.
Me: (Laughing) Well, I'm really glad you like staying here, but your mommy & daddy want you to come home.
Presley: But I don't want to go home.
She either has a blast where ever she is OR she is good at playing to her audience. =)
On a related note, Presley is not a handful by any means, but when you get accustom to having two kids around, and all of the sudden you just have one child for the day, life just seems so much easier. I can remember the fear I had about taking care of a child/baby when Lora was pregnant with Presley, and now if I ever have only one of them to take care of, it is a piece of cake. Perspective can really change things. That said, I love it when both my girls are under my roof. It was fun to talk to Presley on the phone yesterday, but it also made me miss her even more.
