Before music class began yesterday, Tom was acting a little nuts.
So I did what I thought was best!
I threatened him.
I took Tom outside the room and said in my low, stern voice…
“Do you want to go home right now?”
And Tom excitedly said, “Okay!!”
“Let’s go home, Mommy!”
Uhh…
Me (almost laughing): “Well, you can’t. We’re going to go in there and have fun.”
Tom: “Nooooooooooo!”
And so we did.
Eventually.

Ha those “threats” have backfired for me too!
That’s like the other night a friend told his 23 month old, if you don’t eat your dinner, you are getting down and getting in the tub. She handed him her plate and said, ok!
Bested by a toddler. Gotta love it.
