To Remember or To Forget...

What would you rather have your little kid do? Well, for the most part Isabell remembers.Sometimes it seems we "adults" will tell little white lies to get children to do something we want/need them to do hoping and usually knowing they won't remember it later. But oh no, not Isabell. You mention you're going to take her to the park, then you had better do it. And actually, sometimes it's nice that she reminds you of things you happen to mention you need to do. Other times, not so much. She is still just two so even if you mention something like chocolate milk, cookies, watching a movie, she thinks she's going to get it and  won't let YOU forget it.

Well, today I did. With her potty training she usually gets a little something small for going in the potty. Today right before a put her down for a nap and had her sit on the potty and she asked me what her treat would be. I told her a couple chocolate chips. She went, I cleaned it up, got her milk, and put her in bed; completely forgetting about the chocolate chips. She did not. About 5 minutes later I hear her chattering away, which she does sometimes before she falls asleep, but finally my Mom stepped in there to see if she pooped. Nope, she was upset that she didn't get her chocolate chips. So I got her a couple and off to bed she went. That little girl is full of attitude and spunk.
