i know i know

a picture (and story) from the archives:

There was a period of time, way back when (in June), when Molly would say "I know I know I know" whenever she was upset, or hurt herself. It took us a while to first figure out what she was saying, and then figure out why.

At first, it just sounded like "ah-no ah-no ah-no". Then Zach realized that whenever he was doing something unpleasant - but necessary - with Molly (like changing her diaper, wiping her face, etc.) he would say "I know, I know, it's no fun", or something along those lines. And thus, she picked up on the "I know" part of that, and used that phrase to express her frustration.

She no longer uses that phrase. Now she just cries. Or screams. Or hits. But usually, she's pretty easily distracted.
