Negotiations
June 23, 2011
I’m sure it’s totally our fault because we give her so many choices and because we let her negotiate sometimes, but Sydney now things EVERYTHING is a negotiation. Here are two great examples:
I want 4 treats. Just 1. 5 treats Mommy – did you say okay? Just 1 Sydney. 3 treats.Sydney – I can only give you 1. 2 treats (with her two longhorn fingers up). That’s okay, right Mommy? Just two. I prrrrooooommmiiisseee. (I really have to get the “I promise” on video!)
Mommy, I want more milk. It’s time to go to sleep. Just a little, tiny bit more – like this much (with fingers squished together). Sydney, this isn’t a negotiation – it’s time for bed. I promise I won’t negotiate tomorrow.
