Little J has figured out that Shawn and I don't share one brain, and if she asks one of us for something the answer might be no, but if she asks the other, it might be yes. This is just smart. But now she's also figured out that if the first one says no, she can just go ask the other one and have another shot at it.
This, we must prevent. But how? Twice in the last week she has tried to pull a fast one, the first one more successful than the second. We are in negotiation about how to handle this. The problem with me is that I'm a huge softie and when she gets teary-eyed I just want to cuddle her and let her have whatever she wants. Nice parenting, huh? Fortunately Shawn is here to balance things out with a bit more common sense.
