While out shopping the other day, Lilah was telling me all the things she liked and wanted at that moment – it seems that commercials are already having an impact on her. She was struggling with the concept of “Wait for Christmas” or “Put that on your Christmas or birthday list”. Lilah was relentless and I finally gave in on an item from the $1 bin. When I did, she loudly proclaimed:
You are such a good mom!”
All of the people around me laughed. I guess that she’s learned about positive re-enforcement. I wonder if she is as aware as I am of what she’s doing. 🙂
