Our First War of Wills
And I won. By a hair, but I won and that's all that matters. The battle was over bottles--sippy lid vs. nipple lid. We've been going back and forth for a while now but I'd like to move more towards sippy lids. Last night was the first time she refused a sippy. I switched it out for a nipple lid and she was fine. When she tried the same thing this morning I suddenly had this mental flash of the next 18 years raising a tyrant. Hey, it takes one to know one, right? So I put my foot down. She cried at me and I offered her the sippy. She slapped it away, pushed it away, and at one point actually threw it at me. I stayed calm and just kept offering. Finally, after about ten minutes, she heaved a huge sigh, grabbed the sippy, drank drank the milk straight down, and fell asleep. Victory is mine. :-)
