Today, as everyday, Max proclaimed that he was not tired and did not want to take a nap and then proceeded to sleep for 2 1/2 hours before I woke his not tired butt up! But before the sleep there was the negotiation.
Me: Nap time Max.
Max: Please may I watch a little bit more show?
Me: No, you watched 1 power ranger show and now it's nap time.
Max: But I'm not tired... I don't wanna take a nap.
Me: You have a choice... you can sleep in your bed or mama's bed but you HAVE to take a nap.
Max: silence with a sullen look
Me: Well, what's your choice.
Max: I don't wanna make a choice. I don't like THOSE choices.
Oye, why didn't I create a dumb kid!
Me: Tell you what - if you go to sleep AND if you eat all your dinner - we will go to the ice cream store tonight.
Max: That's a good choice Mommy! (followed by lot's of hugs and kisses, he's a great suck-up)
So far no joy on the circus photo's. I am SO bummed. I still need to work on Mike a little more about the possibility of ever seeing them. Grrrr!

hahaha...it always helps to have ice cream as part of the choice.

Hilarious! Sometimes I wonder if giving choices actually makes my life harder :) Sorry about the dogs. Have you found any "labradoodle" websites or rescue places. They might be able to help. Sometimes putting the word out to local shelters will help too.
i get so excited when you comment...mostly because you make me laugh and also because then i think that maybe, just maybe, you have another post about your brilliant and hilarious children...
...and then i come here and am reminded that you HAVE A LIFE and tons of stuff to do. we hope you have a happy thursday anyway.
=)
How cute!
