Justababy, who isn't really a baby anymore*, is at an age where her long-held determination has finally coalesced with a newfound ability to actually follow through. Among other things, this currently manifests itself as her insistence on doing everything that Boy does. Eating everything Boy does. Drinking everything Boy does. And so on.
Boy decided she should now be called Wanty Cat**. Because she wants everything that he has.
This evening Boy was playing in his room. Justababy wanted to, too. Mummy (that's me) wanted Justababy to get in the bath (and get off to bed).
What to do?!
Well, I very cunningly convinced Boy to help me*** by pretending that he was going to have a bath.
It worked a charm - what a win:win(win) resolution!
I now owe my son... something.
*I'll just keep calling her that to avoid confusing my reader(s)
** I'm assuming it's a play on Copy Cat. He thought I was just silly when I asked why it wasn't Wanty Dog or Wanty Bird.
***With much teenagerly sighing! "Ooooohhh kaaaaay"
