The best description I can think of to describe Bea at this stage is "wolf in sheep's clothing". Unlike Henry who would do bad things and then try to get away with it by running away or refusing to clean up or say sorry, Bea is a mastermind at causing cute chaos and sweetening up her abuse to Henry and Clementine. She's so quick to say sorry and give hugs and kisses when she hurts anyone and she says please and thank you all day long, gives Clementine her blankie and pacifier when she's crying(which is always caused by her), but one moment later she's pulling hair, pushing her to the floor, running over her with the doll stroller, pinching her face, stealing her toys and being equally annoying and abusive to Henry, who doesn't even fight back, but runs to me for protection. Where did she learn this? How did my sweet, lovely Bea turn into such a monster? I have no idea who she learned it from and I'm praying this is just a phase. Strange thing is that she will not hurt me, but has no reservations to hit Lucy or Justin, or anyone else. How can she love Clementine and abuse her at the same time. I put her in time out in the cold garage at least 5 times per day where she freezes and cries her eyes out and I know for a fact that she knows that she's in the wrong because after I hear a blood curdling scream from Clementine I always hear, "Sorry Commietine" afterward as she looks at me with a guilty half smirk on her face. I have started to put her blankie in time out and that is helping a little, but I'm open for any suggestions!
