We're trying not to take it personally.

On Tuesday afternoon when I picked up Marianna from daycare, she put on her backpack and we walked down to the gate together, as usual. When we were standing at the gate Marianna looked at me then turned around and started walking back up to her daycare room. "I stay here," she said.

This morning when Jason went to get her out of her cot she said "No, I stay here". And rolled over.

What are we to make of this behaviour? Twenty months old and so sassy.
