I had been talking up storytime with AJ for a few days...that he was going to be a big boy and go in himself. He was excited and he knew he got library books and lunch with Nana as his reward if there were no tears.
Well, the bell rung for storytime to begin and he became a cling-on to my leg and wouldn't go in. After I went in with him and tried to coax him into sitting by himself, I said we are leaving! No books! No lunch with Nana!
And I totally meant it.
We left the books behind and he cried. We got into the van and called Korey to tell him the sad news.
But then....
suddenly....
as we were ready to pull the van into the garage, AJ said 'I WANT TO GO'
So we drove back and he went back to the class and ran right in. He did GREAT!!! He sat thru the stories, made melting snowmen with their bodies and then made a snowman craft.
He loved it ... and we checked out our books and got to have lunch with Nana!
I will hang my award by the mean wife award I won!

Great job sticking to your word...it's so hard sometimes when they cry or just look so darn cute...I'm sure he got the message and was quite proud of himself afterward....it's definitely a "good mommy" award :-)
That is the most adorable story! Little AJ, what a sweetie. You are a good mommy Lorraine!
