There's always a third option..

My husband was sleeping in this morning because he did not feel well. Perhaps he caught my cold?? Anyway, I needed to go to the store to do the grocery shopping for the week. Emily was in need of a nap, but rather than fight with a two year old I decided to give her an option.

"Do you want to go shopping with Mommy, or take a nap with Daddy?"

Knowing that she loves to go shopping and she hates napping with daddy I thought I knew what her answer would be.

I was wrong she replied quite simply, "I play Play-doh!"

I guess their is always a third option with a two year old.


p.s. Yes, I managed to skip the play-doh and convince her to go shopping. She took a nap later.
