Negotiations!

With a not yet TWO YEAR OLD!!! Princess Lollipop has recently started to try and bargain her way out of having her bath and hair conditioned!! All the way up the stairs she tells me "Baff Mowow" (bath tomorrow)! Then once we are in the bathroom and the bath is running, she tells me "Baff spash. NO head. NO dish-on-er." (Bath splash. No brushing hair. No conditioner)!! Then when that obviously isn't going to work she starts with "Spash. Head minute. Wait." When I tell her that we've got to do her hair and conditioner "right now" she tried to run away in the bath!! It is a big bath, but not THAT big lol.

And its not only her bath she negotiates about!! She is starting to decide what she wants to wear or not wear too!! A fashionista at ONE!!! Yesterday she couldn't decide if she wanted to wear "Pwitty boots" (pretty boots) or "Parkul doos" (sparkle shoes). Whichever one I put near her feet she would shout "NO!" and pull her foot away! This went on for a few minutes before I had to make the decision for her - pretty boots! All the way to OUR shop she told me "Pwitty doos mowow" and I'm fairly sure she'll remember tomorrow too!!!

If I gave her a choice, yes she'd choose a pretty dress everytime!! I've only just started letting her choose and if she's going to be as fussy as she was over shoes or boots - she won't be choosing again for a while lol
