I have always tried to give Cal choices, and give him some sense of power and confidence to make his choices. So, I usually ask him would you like chicken or spaghetti for dinner, grapes or apples, baseball or cars jammmies, etc. Well, recently his favorite word has been "no". He says, "NO chicken, NO spaghetti". Now my little smarty britches has taken it a step further. He says no to all my suggestions, then proceeds with, "Ow bout (how about) french fries, ow bout strawberries, ow bout fish sticks?" Basically, he's giving me his menu of choice! I will admit, that the first few times he did this, I had to make what he asked- just because I was so impressed by his negotiating and it was just too darn cute. However, after asking for french fries every night this week- Mommy has started negotiating back. Tonight though, he asked, "ow bout bocli (how about broccoli)" so I did give in to that one=)
Hmmm...will he have a future in law or politics?
