Definance

Today Cassie is defiant. Yesterday for lunch she wanted a piece of lasagna. She decided after taking two bites that she didn't want it, so I told her that she could put it away for dinner. So she did. And didn't want to eat it for dinner. She ate two bites. So I told her that she would be seeing it for breakfast. Out on the table this morning for breakfast was this little plate of lasagna for Cassie.

She didn't want it.

She wanted something else.

Like a cookie from Biggby's.

'Nope.' I said. 'Eat your lasagna and maybe I'd think about it.'

'I ate all of my food.' Piped up, Adara. Way to play it up.

'Okay, cookie for you.' (I think at the time, I wanted to hit home the fact that I was the one in charge, not Cassie. It may have been subconsciously to prove to myself that I had more backbone than Cassie.)

AAAHHHHHHH said Cassie

And it hasn't stopped.

She's sitting at the table complaining at the lasagna plate that its too saucy.

Ah, relief, it's 10.15 and finally she's letting me feed her the lasagna like she's a 1 year old.

Wow, what a day. I hope the rest of the weekend was better. Though at seeing the Word Biggby I was excited because in my purusings of Mt. Pleasant I came to find that there is now a Biggby's up here. YAY!!!

Again, I hope Cassie was better for the rest of the weekend.

HUGS!!!!!
