If Kaylee had her way

Kaylee can be pretty stubborn.  For example, when I give Kaylee a direction or and she blows it off, I'll ask her, "What did I say?" to see if she was paying attention.  Sometimes she will tell me what I asked her to do and then does it.  But if it is something she wants like food, a game, to play outside, a show, or countless other things, when I ask her she replies with, "No!  What did I say?"  Her face gets all scrunched up as if she is a mean tyrant who hates being crossed.  Sometimes she'll give up pretty easy and other times she'll fight.  This is always followed by a discussion of Kaylee needs to obey Mommy and Daddy, not the other way around.

Recently, Kaylee has been trying to take over the decision of having more kids.  Kaylee absolutly adores Lydia and she's been having fun playing with her.  So when I ask Kaylee if she wants a brother another sister, she'll say, "No, only Lydia."  I'll try another angle and ask if she wants another baby or a baby in mommy's tummy.  She'll reply, "No, I say only Lydia."

So if Kaylee had her way, we'd be done having kids.  Of course she'd probably ask years down the road for another one.  But, Kaylee's not incharge.  More kids are in the future!  By the way, I'm not pregnant.  Just a clarification.
