We've reached the point where you can bargain with Riley a bit. I'm trying to think of all the deals I made with him today as an example.
If we go upstairs and get our shoes on, we can go get McDonald's cake-cakes and then watch Barney Zoo when we get back! Riley dashes up the stairs like Flash!
If you take a nap, we can go to the playground again when you wake up! Dashes up the stairs again!
Do you want me to put your shoes on upstairs or downstairs? Upstairs! See - we both get what we want, and everyone's happy!
I can do this! It's the whole love and logic thing - give him choices of what he wants to do instead of locking in a battle of "No you can't watch Barney right now!" And ruining BOTH our mornings! It doesn't work in every situation, but I'm feeling the love of it right now! Like I said in my last post, that'll change! Next week, he'll be the one giving me choices! LOL!
