"Miss Thang"



Yea. Meet Miss Thang. With lots of 'tude'. Attitude that is. She's had it since day one in Nanchang, and not much has changed.:) This 34", 27lbs. of 2 year old likes to think she runs the entire VanLue show! Sometimes we laugh (you just can't help it!!) and sometimes we cry...but mostly we give her some good 'tude' right back....lovingly of course:) Take for instance this situation in the car. Kristin sits behind Katie in our van...and lately has started provoking Miss Thang by kicking her seat. On an action-packed interstate, this mommy hears..."YIN-YIN (Kristin)NOOOOKIIICCCKKKKSSSEEEEEAAAATTTT!!!" Sometimes actions speak louder than words..so Katie enforces her loud shreaking decibels with a superior-arm-folding-humph-lip-pouting-eyebrow-furrow-mean-stare. It's ugly and funny at the same time. Now, understand, there is nothing Kristin likes better than getting under Katie's skin and proving her stance as queen bee. In other words....more kicking resumes. Entire previous scene is repeated...LOUDER. Leni thinks they're nuts. Mommy wants quiet. So....mommy corrects both K's (while driving 50+mph. on interstate...)and both quiet down...but Katie holds pouting-arm-folding-mad stance to prove her point. And the next look in the rearview mirror shows these pics above.Yes, Miss Thang fell asleep (whew!) while look closely...Kristin is still kicking. Next time you see a swerving white mini-van on a Florida highway...get out of the way!

Well, Miss Thang is as cute as she can be in her car seat! I'm not crazy about bumper stickers but maybe you should get one?
