Mom Shot #14: You CAN always get what you want

He was screaming "miiiiiiiilk, miiiiiiilk!" for quite some time, but I was determined to have him sit and eat the cheerios, too. 

But he was more determined. He actually handpicked every single cheerio out of the bowl and then downed the milk. Exactly what he wanted. 

Point taken, kid.

Listen up, parents. Our children are resilient and, as frustrating as that is (and I mean reeeaallly frustrating), acknowledge their inventiveness. They know exactly how to get what they want from life, and no one - not even mommy - will stand in the way. 

Cheerio! ;)
