Bananas for breakfast

Unfortunately I got home late from work this evening so Vickie and the kids were already done with dinner. Renee's eyes caught the bananas on the countertop and so she asked for the bananas. Vickie and I told her she couldn't and so she started breaking down - which usually leads to the inevitable tantrum. I told her it was only for breakfast and that calmed her down - (atleast for that moment).

After the usual shower and bath time it was time for me to put Renee to sleep. Vickie had to run out to get a bathing suit since they're heading to the cape tomorrow so I got Renee on board with blow drying her hair and then we headed to her room to go sleep.

I put her in her crib and told her to go to sleep...usually this is fine - but when I went to close the curtains and shut off the lights she began another tantrum unexpectedly and kept saying something that I couldn't understand. She started the whining and crying while saying something that I still couldn't understand because she still had her pacifier in her mouth. Before it got out of control I popped out the pacifier and managed to get her to listen to me ask her to repeat herself.

After about 10 repeats I finally realized she was saying "breakfast" because she wanted the banana!
