I told Gab this morning if she keeps up with the sassy tongue, she will be
running laps around the backyard and there will be no television until
school starts. She said she will try not to pipe up everytime I speak.
Like this morning I said all the hair ties are missing and she right away
said, mommy you just looked in the wrong place. I asked and where is the
right place, they are not in the special box we made for them. Then I said,
you have cheese in your hair and she said, very defiantly, no I do not. I
set the brush down and walked calmly out of the bathroom. I told her from
now on she can brush her own hair. Maybe it will be better if I run laps
around the backyard. (lol) V

I have a child who has done stuff like that since he was very young, Both
of us are blind (my husband has some vision but not much), and he is just
sneaky by nature. I usually know better though when he lies to me, and we
have told him over and over that it's the lie that gets him in trouble.
Sometimes he isn't really even doing anything wrong, he just doesn't tell
the truth when we ask what he's doing. Some children will continue this
behavior, no matter how much they are punished for it, but being consistent
has slowed the behavior quite a bit. He's the one who makes me nervous when
he gets on the computer and things like that. He just has a rebellious side
to him. I'm wondering what his baby sister will be like as she gets older.
At 19 months she is already sneaky. She doesn't really understand yet that
we don't see her, she acts like a normal sneaky toddler.
I have made my son stay with me instead of giving him freedom, and that
drives him crazy. I told him once that maybe I would make him spray off his
sister's poopy diapers if he mouthed off to me again, just to get his
reaction. I didn't get any more back talk for that day. lol
Kids, you gotta love 'em.

I can only remember one time when my husband came into the living room and
Gab was promptly standing on our glass coffee table . I had just asked
her
what she was doing and she replied, sitting on the couch. Boy did mommy
get
mad and as far as we know, she has never done it again. V

Even with my thirteen-year-old stepson, I can often hear what he is doing
before his dad notices it by sight. I also tend to pay more attention to
what the baby is doing, and will say to a sighted person, "Be careful.
She's going to get into your purse," or whatever, before it happens. I'm
not saying I'm perfect, or that my stepson or my little girl will never
pull
a fast one on me, but it's interesting to me that the two times my baby
has
fallen and gotten a scratch on her face, she's been under the watch of
someone with working eyes.
