mizarchivistMy kid.
Every once in a while, she'll do the thing where she just caaaaan't.... it's too harrrrd. and she flops around on the floor begging me to do it for her. Today's variation is that it's too cooooold and she needs her blankie and eventually, bear. She expends more time and energy begging and pleading than it would take to fix her own problem. 'K. It won't kill her to whine. Won't kill her to be in a 65 degree house. Won't kill me to let her flail. So I wait it out, hold firm and after a certain point, remove myself from the field of battle. She gets there eventually. She scampered up to her room while I was writing this after being boneless on the floor for about 10-15 minutes. Those eggs of hers are gonna be less delicious later, let me tell you. Oh well.
Life lessons for mama and for kiddo.
