I was late for work today but it was worth it! In my busy life I take far to few moments to snuggle up to the kid and just relax. We had a little chat, snoozed and woke up slowly, which is so much more civil than the usually harried escape from the house in the morning.
Everything is a negotiation with the kid, we sort of asked for it as we have always tried to present her with choices ever since she was tiny,.. something about teaching the idea of making choices and decisions, and then dealing with the consequences. Now the tables are turned and I hear more "deals" and "propositions" than ever before,.. I always take a mental step back and chuckle, thinking how much our children are both mirrors and windows.
