7 going on 27!

I go thru that now and my daughter is only 3!!! And the problem is... much like your daughter, that 99% of the time, she IS right. About all kinds of amaizing things! I can actually have a conversation with my 3 year old like I could with you! I'd tell her to go all out with debating the teachers about answers and grades and everything else... that's how I got thru my senior year! lol ... but when it comes to at home - Mommy and Daddy win the debates. When Joslynn debates us (daily) I listen to her side of it fairly and make my judgement from that. Like if Jos asks if she can have just one more cup of chocolate milk before bed. And I'll say "no you've had enough go to bed"... "but I really really think I should get one"... and when I say "why?" you never know what you're going to get. Tonights was "well, because I was quiet around the house because I know that Daddy doesn't feel good. And I was really good at Laura's and I didn't even try and fight you tonight when you washed my hair in the tub. You know mom, I was just a really good kid all around today". Can you REALLY say no to that? So she got her stinkin' chocolate milk. I know I'm writing alot - but you know how mom's are with their babies.... during the summer, so just after Jos' 3rd birthday we were at walmart and she asked for a dora umbrella. I said, you don't even know what an umbrella is for" and she says "actually mom, you're supposed to go outside and open it like this (popped it open) and put it above your head so you don't get wet when its raining or snowing". So i told her if she could close it back up she could get it. So she pushed the button, wrapped it up and threw it in the cart! I know its mentally exhausting, but I try and have as much fun with it as I can. She understands that I'll always hear her out and then make a decision... that's all I ever asked for with my mom. You'd be amazed with some of the stuff they come up with. :)
