The negotiator

Mo has mastered the fine art of negotiation. I try to let her have choices in many areas of her life....what she wears, what she plays, giving in to the things that it doesn't matter to me.

But some things are non-negotiable....like going to bed, brushing teeth, and eating dinner. But she still tries.....and is sneaky about it too.

Mo: I want a treat.

Me: No, tonight is not a treat night.

Mo: Why?

Me: Because, we had treats last night....we are taking a night off.

Mo: Pretty please, pretty please, pretty please.....cherry on top?

Me: No.

Mo: I will eat even more dinner if I can have a treat.

Me: No.

Mo will then turn on some major puppy dog eyes on Scout. This usually works.
