Party supplies

We went to a Christmas party at a bookstore the other night, and Sylvia wanted to bring six stuffed animals. I tricked her into leaving three in the car. She was okay with that once we got there and had cookies.

Perspective

Toward what I hoped was the end of a long walk (meaning it took soooo long to go around the block), I was trying to get Sylvia to head back to the house more quickly, and she was trying to stall in any way possible. Finally, she sat still on her tricycle and said, "Mommy, it's ok if we sit here for a few minutes and look at the beautiful trees?"

Okay, Sylvia. You win. I give up.
