One day, my daughter told him "next time", and all of a sudden the screaming stopped, the water faucet turned off, and he said "ok, next time?" This actually worked until he figured out he wasn't going to get a toy every time we went to the store just because he threw a fit. To this day, my daughter and I chuckle over it and ask ourselves if he ever wondered when "next time" was coming. That's not to say that grandma didn't cave in once in a while and surprise him with something when he wasn't looking. :)Debbie Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557738570724752411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090831403111240801.post-21768635897552762542016-03-09T23:57:50.620-08:002016-03-09T23:57:50.620-08:00I used to say to my son "someday", until...I used to say to my son "someday", until the time he responded with "but someday is such a long, long time!"Roz Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979145704092906025noreply@blogger.com
