Point and Shoot

By MsDilemma | August 22, 2010

This typical 2 1/2 yr old face started with me saying
“Hey, monkey…. you want to do some drawing with Mummy?”
“No, pwayschol pwease mummy”
“Playschool isn’t on so, lets do some craft like they do on Playschool”
“No Mummy…pwayschol”

 

So she sat there sulking (and very closely watching my every move) as I got out the pipe cleaners and started to make her a little butterfly ring.
I put it on her reluctant finger and I could see a little ray of hope breaking through the ‘ice princess’.
Of course she didn’t know what it was until I announced
“It’s your very own special butterfly ring”

 

And this was my reward for not having my own tantrum giving into the sulk and standing my ground with some quick thinking diversion.
And what a sweet reward it is
I love you monkey and I know it’s hard being a two and half year old ((hugs))
