I think we have an upcoming lawyer or politician on our hands. I made spaghetti tonight for supper....Haylee loves spaghetti or at least I thought. We were all sitting down to eat tonight and Haylee was making up every excuse not to eat...."I'm tired," "Its too hot," and my most favorite, "I'm full." "Haylee, how can you be full when you have not eaten more than two bites?" Her reply, "I'm just full." So, tonight Myk and I decided to not battle with her anymore and just explained that if she did not eat supper that she was not getting any snacks, glasses of orange juice, or chocolate milk. She seemed to understand the concept and so we let her down and on her way. Well, Lexi on the other hand ate a huge plate of spaghetti and I don't know how many pieces of garlic bread. When Alexis was done, she asked for a treat and I told her to go get her PJs on and that after that she could have a snack. So after Alexis got her PJs on she announced that she was ready for her treat and came in to the kitchen. All of a sudden we could hear Haylee come running in to the kitchen and Myk and I were getting prepared for a battle and the conversation went as,
Haylee: "Mom (long pause and making sure she had my full attention), you know if you make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I PROMISE I will eat it all up?"
Me: "Then what will happen?"
Haylee: "Once I am done eating it all up, then I can have a treat too!"
Myk was laughing so hard and the expression on Haylee's face was priceless. I don't know how I could argue with something like that. And to no avail, she ate the whole entire peanut butter and jelly sandwich and got her treat in the end. :)
