I've been asking myself this question quite often lately. Actually I ask nearly everyone who witnesses her newly found attitude. Where the heck does this stuff come from? She used to be the happiest most easy going kid and now she sulks, pouts, folds her arms and says, "Hmf!" When I ask her to take her muddy boots off in the kitchen she would rather sit on the rug for a half an hour than do what I ask. She knows pouting and disobedience and the like are not allowed in our house. I've tried time outs in her crib, on a chair, taking away privileges and toys. Nothing has been working lately. Anyone have any more ideas? Don't get me wrong, she's not always like this. Only a few times a day if that, but it still drives me crazy when I've been used to her being so obedient and eager to please.
Proof of the pout - if only I could get a picture of her face.

OK, I died laughing when I read this post. So cute and funny. It's so funny the stages kids go through, what a little stinker. She is so cute though. I love the pic of her in time out. Not sure I'm excited about the sassy stage:-).
