Justee Moments

This little girl can be quite the pest. She hates her picture taken and she never wants to look at the camera. When I get her to make eye contact, it is for a split second and she is usually pulling a face. She loves to tease her sisters, but she is definitely the type that can dish it but can't take it. She gets really mad if we laugh at her tantrums or the silly things she says when she is upset.

Even though she can be quite the pain, she makes us all laugh everyday and can be so thoughtful and caring. She is pretty quick to say "I'm sorry" and loves to give hugs. She is pretty social and warms up to people quickly.

We got our Easter decor out a few days ago, and Justee loves to play with all the figurines like they are toys. Several have been broken and glued back together. She had them out one day and Sydnee hollered at me, "Mom, look what Justee is doing!"
I heard Justee say to Syd, "Don't tell, Sydnee! Don't tell!"
I looked at her and told her to put them back, they aren't toys.
She turned and yelled at Sydnee, "I told you not to tell! You couldn't have telled!"




While in Sacrament Meeting Sun. Justee was being her usual chatty self. We kept trying to get her to be quiet, but she just wouldn't stop talking. She was on Justin's lap and was patting his face as she talked to him. "Daddy, you have lots of hair on you. You have hair right here and right here......Daddy! You have hair in your NOSE!"
Justin and I started to chuckle, but he forgot to acknowledge that he heard what she said; and we all know that if you don't let kids know you heard them...they repeat themselves. "DADDY, YOU HAVE HAIR IN YOUR NOSE!"
I think the people around us found a little humor in this conversation.

On Friday as I was making dinner, Justee really wanted to help. She was sitting on the counter when she started to act sleepy. I asked if she wanted to go lay down. She insisted that she wasn't sleepy and she wanted to help. Then she proceeded to get comfy. After she was laying there for a while I tried to pick her up to carry her to the couch. She woke right up and yelled, "I'm NOT sleepy!" I told her that she was just asleep. "No I'm NOT. I was just taking a break."
I let her sleep there, in the middle of them mess, while I finished up dinner.
