Pay Back?

Meet my little loud mouth.  She likes to be held all the time, and when she isn't in my arms or sleeping on my chest...she gets vocal.  She is a night owl and stays awake too late, and is insistent on sleeping in the bed right beside me. It's beyond exhausting:) 

My mom used to jokingly refer to me as "Bad Baby."  Namely, because I had colic and was a mess for the first weeks of my life.  Keeping my parents up.  And then as I got older my mom liked to use the adjective "strong-willed" to describe me.  I could pitch fits like nobody and was extremely stubborn.  She asked the pediatrician what to do with me, and he said just close me up in my room and let me cry it out.  For how long? Until I passed out if that is what it took. 

I have a scary feeling I have met my mini-me in Tudor-Beach.  My mom and dad would have really loved to have seen this come full circle.
