... and how she considered (as we all have) that her conceding may have tricked you into turning her back, at which time she could quickly splash - just this once.
Cute video of what, no doubt, will be the first of many "negotiations." Keep it in your arsenal to pull out, oh say, 12 years from now, when it is not-so-cute, you are oh-so-tired and thinking of tossing in the towel. It will encourage you to carry on... Thanks for being a great mom. I get very discouraged atthe amount of poor parenting I encounter...
And I swear she is saying "kitty cat." Liam was here last weekend and he WAS a kitty cat most of the time. He crawled on all fours, meowed and wanted to be petted. If he crawled faster than I could keep up with, he would stop, look over his shoulder, meow and wait for me to catch up with him. It was pretty cute. Luckily he did not insist I put his food and water on the floor in a bowl...

I love how she tried all kinds of tones of voice in an effort to convince you.

I wonder how many bajillions of times mothers will just say no in their lifetimes?!
Good girl, Shirl. And Mom.
Good job Erin! Way to hear out her side of the story and stick to your guns. The rule in our house is "We don't negotiate with terrorists."
favorite video so far :)
