Does your child still say something so incorrect but so darn cute that you cannot correct them? Savanah says popsicle like (Paw-sicle). I just can't tell her how to say it correctly even though she is 7. It is like the last remnant of her toddler days.
Billy didn't say vanilla right until he was 10! He said, "banilla". So cute!
When pleading her case the other night for a campfire Savanah's cuteness won her the coveted prize, she got her way. It was cool and damp. Not a great night for a campfire. We had already said no. But she came inside from playing with this sweet smile. She sat on our stairs facing Jeff and I.
She calmly asked, "Do you know what "chilled to the bone" means?" We both said yes. With that dangerously sweet smile and gleam in her eye she said, "so you know "chilled to the bone"? We again said yes. She said emphatically but not demanding, "I am not even chilled to the bone." "It really isn't that cold outside". "Can we please have a campfire?" Oh no there it is again that cute sweet smile the one that reveals a rarely seen dimple.
We caved. We had the campfire and even withstood a short drizzle.
Kids should learn this approach is much more effective then the commonly used tantrum. I suppose my kid is learning.
Smart Cute Cookie, she is.
