"The Dark One"

A few weeks ago, my dad told me that he thought Mia had a "dark personality." Slightly offended, I immediately asked what he meant. He said that he thinks she's very mischievous (I agree) and that she acts innocent but she's behind a lot of the stuff they do (I agree.) Here are some of the "dark" things she does:

-if Ethan wants a drink of their sippee cup, right before he grabs it, she'll throw it
-she'll take his blankie (his most prized possession) from him and throw it down the stairs
-she'll walk up to us and scratch or bite us with no warning or reason
-if Ethan is trying to grab something to eat, she'll take what he's grabbing and crumble it into a million pieces
-she'll sit on Riley as she's trying to crawl (ok, this one makes me laugh)
-she knows she gets in trouble when she takes her diaper off, so she'll stand directly in front of me and grab one side of her diaper and take it off and as I start to get up, she puts it back on
-she'll purposely push Riley over
-she'll grab the remote the second you get up and will throw it if you try to grab it from her
-she'll take Riley's bottle and purposely drip the formula out (one of my pet peeves)
-she torments our dog, Elsa, by taking a dog treat and pretending to give it to her. Right before Elsa snatches it, Mia picks it back up and laughs. Poor Elsa will follow her around for a good hour waiting for her treat.
-when they're taking a bath, she pours water over Ethan and Riley's heads

Maybe she has earned her new nickname, "the dark one."

Wow, creepy. Creepy because that sounds a lot like Caleb. Are they related? :)

Finley is our "dark one" too. The things that she does and tries to get Ezra involved in are always naughty. She knows it too, and will say, "NO No Naughty".
