I not go to school ever again. Or church.

It was after the tenth time my son asked me to come help him make popcorn, he calmly said, "Mom, if you not come here, I not go to school ever again.  Or church." 

He looked at me to see my reaction.  I wanted to laugh out loud!  But I had to take him and his request seriously.  He is using techniques I have used on him!  I thought about what to say and then said, "Honey, that is not going to work.  If you ask nicely like you already have been doing, it might help."   He asked nicely one more time and I then I got up and helped him to prove my point.

It is amazing how much we teach by our example without even realizing it!

I love to make his wishes come true, especially the little wishes like helping him to make popcorn and watching a movie together. This particular time, he wished that everything in the world was purple, his favorite color! I don't know how to grant that wish!! I'll just validate his wish and try to appreciate his love of purple.
Love,
Alison
