Blake the Negotiator

Blake has become Mr. Negotiator lately.  Mostly when we are getting ready for bed time, or if we are getting ready to leave someones house.  I remember that I used to do this to my parents too, and for some reason, I thought I always had the upper hand. HA!  I don't give in very often, but sometimes he is just too darn cute, and I cant help myself.

We were getting ready for bed time, and what we do is - shower, brush teeth, read story, and bed time... after we say goodnight to the aunts in the aunt farm of course!  He said to me "Mama, you snuggle with me for 5 minutes, then I say "No, not 5 minutes, but I will lay with you for 1 minute"  He then counters back with "2 minutes"  I say "well, how about zero minutes" and then Blake said "1 minutes is just fine Mama"  Haha... when did he learn this, and since when did he realize that he could negotiate bed time?  I thought he was pretty clever, and I didn't realize that he understood that 1 is less then 5.  we say the numbers, but I didn't think that he understood their value... just another way that my children amaze me every day!!

Just goes to show that his wheels are ALWAYS turning!!
