My two year daughter loves it when I say yes - to anything. What kid doesn't???
The problem is, she thinks "I'll think about it", "Maybe", and "We'll see" are all difinitive YES answers also.
If I say one of the alternate responses, I get an emphatic and high-pitched "Dank you, dank you, dank you Mommy!!" She assumes that the good fate is sealed.
Ha! I love her enthusiasim - but I feel bad when the "Well see" turns out to be a "no". She helps me to think about my answers though, and to make sure I follow through and keep my word. That is what kids really love!
