Princess Weepsalot

So I knew that little girls could be dramatic, but I assumed that the drama didn't start until middle school or at least late elementary school. Man, was I wrong! I think they come out of the womb more dramatic. Miss Ellie went from being Princess Grumbalina to Princess Weepsalot. There are days, like today, when it seems like she cries ALL DAY! Many times, I have a hard time not laughing...and other times, I have a hard time not crying myself. Today, Princess Weepsalot woke up on the wrong side of the crib and everything drove her to tears. I took this video after 30 minutes of tears caused by an attempt to go on a walk...an activity that would normally drive Ellie to squeals of joy, but today caused sobs over her footwear (first she wanted the pink shoes, then the brown shoes, then the shoes from her teacher, then the brown shoes, then no socks, then different socks...) and the mode of transportation (first she wanted to go in the stroller, then the wagon, then the buggy (which she knows is the same thing as the wagon), then the wagon...). You might wonder what kind of mother turns the video camera on her sobbing daughter instead of wrapping her in hugs and kisses (believe me, I had already tried that!)...well, I'll tell you -- the kind of mother who wants something to show her daughter in order to explain why she blew her college fund on margaritas and Haagen-Daz.
