We have moved on from "You're Fired"
Now the cry out is, "BUT IT'S OPPOSITE DAY!"
Lilly has recently learned the meaning of the word opposite. She has been dabbling with the word for a few months, but it has now taken on yet another way to give her a feeling of power.
Just yesterday at the breakfast table I said, "Lilly eat your eggs or they will get cold."
To which she responded, "No, I will not"
As I set my fork down to begin the discipline process she quickly retracted, "BUT IT'S OPPOSITE DAY! No means yes, yes means no." (spoken with a sweet smile)
I said, "Ok baby, now eat your eggs."
She responded..."no mama, say Lilly do not eat your eggs, and I will not eat them."
At this point I'm completely confused.
"Ok baby, do not eat your eggs"
Then she responded with a sly smile, "good, I'm done anyway"
WHAT!!!!! She is way too smart for me.
If this continues...I'm in trouble.
I think she tricked you on that one. She wanted permission to not eat her eggs :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
HAHA Too funny. She is already a little con artist. Sorry I missed your party. Having a baby messes with your mind. I completely forgot what day it was a when I looked at the calendar I realized I missed it. :( If your mom hosts another one, be sure to invite me. I WILL COME with Lizzie in tow! PROMISE!
