Three year olds possess this combination of a sincere desire for independence and a need to cross every line their parents draw. With that, Laina pulled out all the stops this morning in trying to get herself a little TV.
First, she went with the “One show is plenty” routine which basically means she’s willing to watch ONLY one TV show. Sometimes she pulls the “Mommy always lets me watch one show” as well.
So my response was “We aren’t going to watch any TV right now”. Well the battle was now on. She calmly replied “I am not going to have this”. As a parent its often really hard not to bust out laughing when your child does something so funny. You’ve immediately lost if you do however.
So long story short, did daddy or Laina win this little morning face off? Well, she’s playing with the iPad right now and that’s not TV…so I maintain that I stood my ground!
One thought on “I’m not going to have this”
I love, love, love my little niecey-poo. She's awesome.
