i think my niece hates me

i realize i have blogged about this before, but my niece's sheer refusal to say my name has caused me no end of frustration.

last night, we went through the family name list: mama, daddy, nana, papa, dylan, kelly...she completed all of these repetitions successfully. but then came the test. the tara test. and what did she do? she looked at me in silence, with mischief in her eyes, and simply pointed at me. (there was a tad bit of consfusion about mama, but since kate is out of town this week, that is understandable.)

given the fact that she has met dylan and kelly ONCE, i think i have a right to be upset. although i know this will probably make their day!

Hey, at least she acknowledges you are Tara. When we went through this with my nephew, he would say all the names with gusto, and when we'd get to "Erin" he'd roll his eys and look away, only to say the next name with total gusto again.

I have a cousin that will run into the room and look around and look at me and say "What are you doing here?"......

Always an interesting child that one...
