bargaining

Last night Connor really wanted some juice just before bed, but Matt was only giving him the options of milk or water. they went through a whole process in the kitchen with Matt giving him a cup of milk, then a cup of water...Connor wanted nothing to do with either and kept trying to open the fridge to get juice.

fast forward to bedtime....

The normal process is I sit in his rocker with him on my lap, Matt gives him a kiss and Connor says "nigh-night". On this night, I told Connor to "give daddy kisses" and he puts his hand up in Matt's face (who is leaning down for his kiss), looks at him and says, "Juice". He was fully bargaining with Matt in an attempt to withhold kisses to get his juice. Matt, of course, did what any dad would do and held Connor's arms down while smothering him in kisses. We all got a pretty good laugh out of it...well everyone except Connor.
