I want that...

So today Maci was watching icarly and a commercial for polly pockets came on:
Maci: "I want that, I am going to buy it"
Me: "really how are you going to do that?"
Maci: "I am going to drive your car to the store and buy it. You can go with me and ride in the back."
Me: "where are you going to get the money to buy it?"
Maci: "Papa gave me some money"

She has an answer for everything doesn't she.

No More Bath Time Fights!

When we started the bath time it was always a fight to get her out of the tub. The water would be freezing and she would still want to play. And really we don't have many bath toys, so you would think if you were cold you would get out. Now we don't have to fight with her anymore. Her dad and her negotiated the end of bath time. Now when her fingers are wrinkly it is time to get out. When she sees her fingers are wrinkly she gets out.

Rationalization and evidence seem to get her to agree with us.

Baby Sister

Tonight Maci was discussing her baby sister. She started with "when my baby sister gets here she is going to dance with me" So I told her "your sister won't be able to dance for a while." She says "that's right I can hear her say goo goo ga ga right now." She then proceeded to tell me she was going to help her sister up when she fell out of my tummy. Interesting...
