Not feelin' it now, Dad!

Conversation over breakfast this morning:

Daddy: "Jovey, would you like to taste some of daddy's cereal? It's called Cap'n Crunch and is good and sweet!" You'll like it!"
Jovey: "No thank you. I don't want to try it, Daddy! I just want my cheerios!"
Daddy: "OK, no biggie! Just thought you might like it!"
5 minutes later after other random conversation
Jovey: with great enthusiasm "I'm gonna try your cereal, Daddy!"
(He had left it on the table in front of her booster.)
Daddy: smirking at mommy "OK, you do that!"
Jovey: "Ooohhh, that's good! May I have some more!? Please?"

And thus begins our life with Jovey and doing things on her own time and in her own way!

I can't wait until she is a teenager. It is going to be so much fun. I know this trait will be good as she gets older, but it is a challenge now for sure. patience is the word for me to learn.

I know. Having Jovey Kay has taught us more than we could ever teach her as parents, I believe! What a wonderful blessing and a beautiful challenge.
