Our current one is bedtimes, and the methodical use of every excuse in the book to delay them. Or when finally put to bed, finding an excuse to get back up.
This evening our toddler Little Miss came out ‘just to say I love you sooooooo much!!’ – which sounds adorable until you realised that your child is just trying to play you for a sucker by pulling your strings (still nice to hear though!)

If it is not a dress or THE dress, well you know what happens next.
Great thing is, she will be excited to get the Gymboree cotton dresses that she LOVES for Christmas. And that is what she is getting.

I truly understand your situation here. I have a toddler who also likes to get his own way. A test of willpower happens in my home everyday!

My 2 year old boy has just begun the ultimate struggle for independence and autonomy. I have a feeling I am in for a long ride!
