Send Her Back??!!

So this morning Triston woke up pretty ornery. In his defense he woke up super early because Quinn was up studying and accidentally woke him. The morning was a struggle and here is an account of the conversation he and I had:

Triston: I don't like Bridget anymore Mom. Send her back!
Me: What? You love Bridge, we don't want to send her back.
T: Yes I do! I really don't like her now.
M: Where would we send her?
T: To another family.
M: Hmmmm, wouldn't you miss her? You wouldn't have anyone to play with and make you laugh.
T: She isn't that funny, just send her to another family.
M: Well, ok if you only want to be with mom and dad and have NO fun then lets go pack her stuff.
T: Ok.
M: (Thoughts) Oh my gosh what I am going to do with this kid!

I decided to let him think it over for a while and then I came up with a way to win him over. Bridget was asleep so I went in and put a brownie in her crib and then the conversation continued...

M: Triston, did you know Bridgie made you something last night while you were sleeping?
T: She did?!? What did she make??!! (Jumping up and down)
M: It's a surprise. She worked SOOOO hard. You know how small her little arms are right? Well, she had to work so hard to make this for you. She can't walk so she just kept it in her bed.
T: She worked so hard for me?
M: Yep she did.
T: Let's go see it!!!
M: Ok, really quietly.
T: It's my FAVORITE!! A brownie! Ok, mom we can keep her!

Thank goodness our little lady is such a good cook ;)

Triston is so cute. Even if he wants to send his sister back. I've wanted to send my siblings back at times too. :) A little jealousy happening there. Good solution. Your fast on your feet Dani! Are you guys going to AZ for Thanksgiving?

Nice, that little boy is such a little fire ball! So funny! It's always interesting when those first children figure out what having "a baby" really means! I remember Savanna would always say, "mom,just put that baby down" and "mom that baby is annoying me"! Good times ahead. They'll be best little friends in no time. Well, maybe in a few years..:)
