So why is Natali eating a frosty at 7:45 pm? Um, because she wanted to and threw a massive tantrum until we completely crumbled and folded under her screams and tears. What really happened was she got a sliver in her finger and was complaining that it hurt. So like good parents we tried to look at it and get it out with a needle and tweezers. Well you can only imagine how that went over with Natali...not so much. So with me trying to hold her in a death grip and Ben trying to get it out we ended up bribing her that she could have a Frosty TOMORROW if she stopped crying and held still. We finally gave up on the sliver, but all Natali wanted was the Frosty. And apparently she chose not to hear the TOMORROW part.
Anyway to make a long story even longer...Natali ended up getting a Frosty and staying up way past her bedtime watching a movie and eating a frosty. Why you ask? Aren't I the parent? Shouldn't no mean no? Shouldn't I be able to control my two year old? Come on...let's not kid ourselves...all hail Miss Natali!!!
***We at least did not let her eat it all, I get some points for that...right! I know giving in was a bad choice, but I really didn't want to battle her anymore. Some days I just have to wave the white flag.

Oh, I have so been there, done that.
Don't feel bad. I think it has happened to all of us who are parents.
You pick your battles, but this looks like it was a war.
Hope she enjoyed it! (And you got to stay sane.)
oh my goodness i have so been there, so done that....somedays you just want to and somedays have to throw in the towel just for your own sanity (sp?)...no worries this stage will be over soon.
just a little side note, but everytime i click on your blog and coby is around he will see natali's pic.s and blow kisses at her ha! he is totally smitten with her :).....oh what will i do with my little casa-nova :)
I think we have all done that, there are some days that it just isn't worth the fight. For what it's worth, she sure looks cute eating that frosty!
I'm sorry that happened.
I guess it's better with the frosty then making her butt the same color as her hair. YIKES
So yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only Mom who gives in to her two year olds demands! Like when we watch Curious George over and over and over!!
So good to talk to you the other day...even if it was just a few minutes! We miss you guys! :(
I love reading your blogs!! You give me so much to look forward to! :)
I discovered a long time ago that my kids are the ones in charge for sure. The world revolves around them, and the more I fight it, the uglier it gets?@! Just kidding, but I so totally understand those moments. Some days it really just isn't worth the fight!
Your kids are so cute! My daughter also wears the pants in the family...and you don't want to mess with her! I can't believe that Issac already had his first hair cut. I have really bald kids so they get their first hair cute around 2!
A frosty at 7:45pm? Staying up past bedtime? OOOOOOOOO!!!! You're so NAUGHTY! Walkin' on the wild side!! Lettin' her hair down! I like it!
Glad to know that other peoples kids are in charge too I thought I was the only one!! If they werent so cute I might win once in awhile. My dad always says whos in charge cherisse...my response..no question my kids are dad you know that!!!!
