bargaining

Hailey ended preschool/daycare back in June and very happily at that. She was fine for most of the year, but the last few weeks were rough and she would cry everytime I dropped her off. Because of this I have been prepping her that once again, in the fall she will have to go back to school. Hoping that the preparation will help with the transition.

Well, to describe to her when she is going back to school, I said, its when the leaves fall ...

So as we all know Hailey has a clothes fetish, to the point now where she will only wear certain dresses. This morning I picked one out for her that she apparently wasn't fond of and this is our conversation ...

Hailey: Mommy, I don't want to wear that dress
Me: Well, that makes we sad because I bought you that and wish you would wear it
Hailey: o.k., mommy I will wear my this dress(the one she picked out) today and I will wear your dress to school, when the leaves fall

Do you see the bargaining she does at such a young age? She is trying to appease me and still get what she wants. Oh boy!

She started dance a few weeks ago and absolutely loves it. The class is a riot to watch as there are 4 - 4 year old girls and they all have personalities all their own!
