Yesterday I blew it. After a trip to Target e and I stopped by our house to see if there was a phone message about our broken garage door opener; I knew it was possible to access messages from off-site but I didn't know how to do it. So while we were out it seemed reasonable to drive a little more and check. There was no message. So after putting some of our purchases in the house we went back out to the van. Little Miss e would not get in her car seat. I reminded her it was lunchtime. I mentioned books, all kinds of things, but nothing worked. I told her next time she asked me to do something I would say no. Childish of me, I know, but I was tired and running out of ideas. Finally she said she had a poopy diaper. Duh! Why didn't I think of that? No wonder she was not eager to be strapped in. So we went back in the house, changed her diaper and ate lunch. Then I put her to bed.
Sometimes it is so easy for me to focus on what I want without considering why e is resisting.
