His idea or ours???

Mason has always had a way of twisting something that is his idea so that suddenly it seems like your idea! Lately he will say something like "hide and seek" and when I ask "do you want to play hide and seek?", he'll say "um, well . . . okay!" He pretends like he really had to think about it first and kind of says it like he's not really excited about it. He used to just say "um, okay", but the past few days he's been throwing "well" into just about every sentence!

I wish I could pull the same stunt with Dan. Like if I said "Hawaii" and he'd say "you want to go to Hawaii?". I'd answer with "um, well . . . okay" and make him think he had come up with the idea.

Last week I mentioned that he needed a haircut and immediately he started asking for suckers (which we use to distract him during the cut). He was ready to put on his shoes and get in the car to go get his haircut. He really, really wanted a sucker I guess! Too bad we had to schedule it and he'll have to wait until this Thursday for that sucker!

He is also monopolizing our fridge! He's so proud of his artwork that he puts about 9 magnets around it on the fridge before it's even dry. I'm glad he knows that we enjoy his creativity!

It is great that Dan will get his haircut and stay still with just a sucker!! You have a done a great job training Dan these long years, but it seems to be paying off!!! :) I had to say it Dan - sorry!!
