Recently we read a book called Dream Big, Little Pig! by Kristi Yamaguchi about Poppy the Pig who wanted to be a star. Ever since then, Eliana has used the line "because I want to be a star!" as her excuse for doing anything and everything. In the picture above, Eliana was painting, and I found her painting her face and teeth (yes, teeth). When I asked her why she was eating the paint, she said "Because I want to be a star!"
"Oh no, Eliana, you had an accident. Why did you pee in your pants and not in the potty?"
"Because I just want to be a star."
"Eliana, why are you ripping pages out of that book?"
"Because I want to be a star!"
"Eliana, stop poking me in the eye."
"I have to, because I want to be a star!"
The answer to any why question, especially when she is in trouble, is always "I want to be a star!" I guess Eliana thinks being a star means doing any crazy thing she wants. Where did she get an idea like that?
