From Jan 2009

Over winter break Makenna and I spent the majority of my time off together, and it was great! And she was so loving towards me, coming up and giving me random hugs and kisses. Normally when I'm working, she gives me the cold shoulder when I come home, like she's mad that I left her...and whoever watched her that day is all she'll have anything to do with. So, being able to spend some quality time with her was wonderful. Well, the day finally came when I had to go back to work shortly after the new year. That afternoon my mom had gone to Walmart and I needed to get some groceries so I just met her over there after work and we hung out for a while. I put Makenna in the cart and put my hands on it to push it and she pushed me off and said, "no mommy, get away from me. I want nana to do it." Oh really...so, nana pushes the cart. At one point I asked for a hug but Makenna said no, so I grabbed her anyways and gave her a big hug. Again, she pushed me off of her and said get away from me. (Where did she learn this get away from me thing anyways....). So I tell her she's mean to me and walk ahead of the cart (trying to get a guilt hug from her). She yells out mommy look. So, I turn around a look and she waited for me to make sure I was looking at her and reaches out and gives my mom a big hug...as if saying, HA HA HA! That little booger!
