We went for another night time walk. It is one of the ways we are burning energy here. They can't just go outside and play with the kids or at the playground. So we are looking for work arounds to keep them active outside and quieter inside.
So our walks have been including the new scooters they each got for their birthdays. Last time she complained about her scooter not being fast enough. Today she asked him to show her how to go fast. He has been a scooter master since he was about 18 months old. And so he showed her and helped her. She had a much better "walk" tonight. And so we added another block onto the walk.
I notice that sometimes she is very sweet when she wants something from him. I think it funny how she is using coyness and cuteness and sweetness to manipulate him. Now this comes naturally to her. She is not mimicking me in any way, shape or form. Sometimes all of that gets you much better results than bullying. And I think it is good for her to learn. Her daddy on the other hand finds it annoying. I just smile.
