Mark taught Lily about favors.
“Lil, will you do me a favor?”
“Sure, Daddy!”
“Would you help me pick up the blocks before bedtime?”
“Yes!”
The other night I was getting Lily ready for bed and after I had read her a book (Go, Dog. Go!) and given kisses, I booked it out of there to get Anya to bed. Mark was on a gig, so I was single parenting bedtime. Just as I was getting Anya down I heard, “Mommy! Mommy!”
“What is it, Lil?”
“ummm…”
“Yes?”
“Do a favor?”
“What do you need, Love?”
Softly and with a tiny giggle, “Wiggle your toes.”
Tonight she asked Mark to flap his arms.
Hey, at least her stall tactics are amusing!
