Bossy Pants

If you know me at all, you won't be surprised that my kid is a bit bossy. Although I will say that I didn't expect that trend to show up until she is much older. But it's still rather funny. If you ever met our pup Brovi, you will know two things: he is obnoxious (in a good, cute way) and he loves to bark. While I am used to him always being hyper, barking is something nobody in our family likes, except for Nessie because she just ignores it. Anyway, whenever Brovi barks outside, I yell at him and shake my finger at him yelling 'NO BARKING' Natalie totally picked up on that, whenever she hears him back, inside or outside, she points her finger at him and shakes it :) It's hilarious to watch. I am going to try to get a video of that one of these days.

Her other new trick concerning Brovi is when Brovi is outside and we want him to come in, she will stand in the doorway to the deck and yell in her own language "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" (that means Brovi if you haven't guessed) and she will pat her leg on the side with her hand to get his attention (it doesn't work, but it's funny to watch her do it).

And she knows what it means when i say "should we give Brovi a treat" she nods her head and says "yeah" and then waits until I give her the treat for Brovi and she always give it to him and giggles because he tickles her hand while trying to get the treat :) Funny girl! She sure does think that she is in charge of Brovi. She loves him, but she also terrorizes him. She pulls him by his tail, pushes him away from his dish bowl and chases him around. But she also gives him hugs, and every morning and evening goes to his dog food and puts his food into his bowl, she makes sure he is fed every day :) But honestly, I think she just enjoys to be in control of somebody else, because I am sure it feels like we control too much of her life (although B doesn't really listen to her, well, he doesn't really listen to anybody, I think she thinks that she is in charge of him ).
