Rachel is having a... challenging time developmentally lately. She has decided she does not like being told what to do, and has taken to using and sharpening her negotiating skills, accordingly.
For example, I will have told her that she cannot have candy before breakfast, and then a few minutes later I will ask her to get dressed. She replies that she wants to wear a weather-inappropriate sundress. I counter with a logical, "Maybe you should wear pants today because it is cold."
"WELL IF I CAN'T WEAR A DRESS THEN I HAVE TO HAVE CANDY!!"
Sigh.
Rinse and repeat. All. Day. Long.
I'm glad she is asserting herself, and she is probably just looking for a little more freedom. But my, it is tiring!
