Savanah Wants To Help And Her First Attempt At Guilt

Two funny little Savanah stories for you all (yeah, like you all don't get enough of those!).

Saturday, as I stated in my last post, we spent some time at Jo-Ann Fabrics looking for material for my Pirate Costume. At checkout there was quite a line, both in front of us and behind us. Savanah, being her usual self was busy entertaining everyone (yeah, people who don't have to live with her think all of her antics are cute). We get to the register and I pay, but before signing, Savanah asks if she can sign for the stuff, to which I reply "No, sorry honey, Daddy has to do it." She immediately responds with "I can do it Daddy....really.....it's just a bunch of squiggles!" (which by the way she is quite good at). I, along with everyone else in line, got quite a kick out of that.

She also attempted to guilt me today. I set up her new computer (her old one was a hand me down from a friend and was overheating and slow) today and got everything, except the CD Drive, working. She was very happy to be able to access Noggin Online again and spent most of the day in the basement playing on it. She did, however, call me down several times when she did something that the computer didn't like and errored to the point at which she wasn't sure what to do. After being interrupted at least seven times (I was trying to get my Pirate Costume pants done) I told her that I was busy and couldn't rush right down just then. Her response to this was "I guess you just don't love me Daddy." Oh my God! I have no idea where she is picking this up, but we had a nice little chat about saying things like that to try and get them to do what you want. I am hoping that she understands enough of it now to know that it really isn't the right way to approach things. It was a bit funny to see her try and play me that way though.
