I had to come write this down so that I don't forget!
Last night was trick-or-treat and Kaia got lots of candy. We came home from the playground this evening and Kaia and I had decided to make pizza-she was very excited! While it was cooking she came to me and said..
M: "I want candy please!"
Me: "You may have candy after you eat supper."
M: "Please can I have candy?"
Me: "Thank you for saying please...you may have some after supper."
M: "I no like supper! I don't want any pizza! I want candy! Please! Please!"
This was repeated multiple times and included lots of crying and screaming. It became a full-on temper tantrum. I finally distracted her and she was excited for pizza when it was finally done. She did a good job of eating and when she was done she said...
M: "Please may I have a piece of candy?"
Me: "You did a good job eating supper and now you can have a piece of candy."
M: "Hooray! I'm so happy!"
She picked out a bag of Whoppers and I said...
Me: "I'm not sure you'll like these. Maybe you should pick something else."
M: "I DO like these. I eat them all the time!"
This cracked me up because to my knowledge she hasn't eaten these before. Turns out she did like them and is now asking me for "more please." Time to hide the candy bucket!!
