Smartie Pants

The other day I was trying to convince my son to accompany me to the airport to pick up my husband. He seemed to be ignoring my pleas as he attentively watched Dora. Then all of a sudden he turned to me and said "mommy I said no and it's my decision." Well what can you say to that other than checkmate? It's not like I was telling him he had to come, I was asking him and he did say no once already. From his perspective he just wasn't sure what I wasn't clear on the first time. There is nothing like having your children drive home a reality you seem to be denying.
