I didn't have the stomach for it, so got him to start using the toilet... if he had poured his business out onto the bathroom floor, I might've cried!! 808love on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1028357 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 03:01:02 +0000 808love 1028357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. High Heels: haha! Yah!LO insists on pouring out her potty sometimes and I hold my breath to see if she is gonna angle it the right way. @Mrs. Jacks: I do too. I realized I have known you online for quite some time...I would love to get you guys out for a day of fun! Tell Lala I know a place just like she is imagining. Here is some eye candy for one of those more popular spots. <a href="http://www.portaloha.com/SecretsOfHawaii/Laniakea.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.portaloha.com/SecretsOfHawaii/Laniakea.htm</a> The place we pet the turtle today was not a very natural habitat for turtles and didnt have deep water or fish nearby. It was quite sad but I will leave that up to you if you want to share that part with Lala's tender heart.

Today she took a massive dump in it, and waddled her way over to the regular toilet to dump it out. Then she insisted on cleaning that standalone toilet out too in our sink! Gah, yuck. Luckily I quickly wiped as much of the poo residue as much as I could while she was busy flushing the poo down the toilet. She totally won. I love when she exerts her independence, but with poo... not so much.

She asks if it was living with colorful fishes and if you had to dive deep into he water to see it? What fun! I really hope it works out to see you this coming year! I think our girls would get along marvelously! 808love on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1028235 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 21:33:20 +0000 808love 1028235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @lamariniere: oh so cute when they have their preferences...and sometimes not... :) @Mrs. Jacks: you have a little scientist. Btw, we got to pet a turtle at a marine park today...thought of you. I wished the turtle was in its real habitat. lamariniere on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1027762 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 15:33:52 +0000 lamariniere 1027762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not sure if this counts but every day for the last two weeks DS has said "we should buy a bike with pedals for my birthday". He has a balance bike and his birthday isn't until December. But we have duly noted the request. :-) Mrs. Jacks on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1027576 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 12:44:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1027576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Yoyo: at that moment cleanliness won!

At breakfast I took away her waffle because "mama I just want to do an experiment with it. We put in water to make the batter, so if I put water on the waffle maybe it will turn back into batter."

I give in a lot on little things. Oh well.

Yesterday she wanted to "wash" dishes. She was getting her outfit and the counter wet but she was happy and content. I let her play and she was happy. 808love on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1027527 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:54:20 +0000 808love 1027527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @looch: Thanks for reminding me of the ways how I am usually open to toddler negotiations when it is the small things. Long ago, the first time LO ever negotiated, it was over the amount of Teddy Grahams I gave her. I gave her more than I originally intended because of her sweetness. Last night must have triggered that little memory because later I was feeling bad because she only ate TG and rice. looch on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1027235 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:24:21 +0000 looch 1027235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha, I am a path of least resistance parent...so if the choice isn't harmful or going to cause me extra annoyance, I let my son win. He doesn't like the shirt I picked out, he can wear another, even if doesn't match his pants, no big deal. If he doesn't want to eat his dinner, fine, but I am not a short order cook and won't sit there begging him to eat. 808love on "Toddler negotiations: what was the last one he/she 'won'?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-negotiations-what-was-the-last-one-heshe-won#post-1027133 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 02:26:21 +0000 808love 1027133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My 2 year old convinced me to let her eat Teddy Grahams and rice for dinner tonight. Later I wondered, what happened there...I gave in! I did give her a turkey sandwich and a bunch of strawberries a few hours before though. Yikes, I need to be a little stronger...that usually doesn't happen.
