So tonight Skye really wanted to stay up until her daddy got home ... which I was fine with ... he had been gone all weekend and she was dying to see him ... so I let her bring her dvd player in her room so she could watch a movie while she relaxed in bed ...
Every time she went pee she wanted another chocolate mint ... at one point I told her we had to stop getting treats for going pee ... she gave me a pftt and was back in her room ...
When she came to the top of the stairs to proclaim yet again that she had gone pee and needed a chocolate mint I informed her she had had enough for the evening ... this was not the answer she was looking for ... so I told her I would make a deal with her ... she could have her movie player or a chocolate mint ... which one did she want ...
Her first answer of course was, "I want my mobie and a chocolate mint." ... I told her that was the wrong conjunction (we've been watching a lot of School House Rock lately and she loves Conjunction Junction) ... we were using the conjunction OR ... she could have her movie OR the chocolate mint ...
With her finger to her mouth she said, "Hummmmm ... I'll take the mobie" ... and back to her room she went ...
Not even 10 minutes later she comes down the stairs with her movie player and said, "I want to trade my mobie player for a chocolate mint please." ...
How could I say no to that ... it was beyond adorable ... so I took possession of the movie player and we went to the kitchen for a chocolate mint.
She snuggled next to me on the couch and said, "Mommy that was a good trade. This is delicious." ...
