negotiating
Negotiating with Jonah can be quite comical at times. For me it is pretty easy. When it is time for him to do something, like take a nap, it is quick to come up with activities to do so he will not have to take a nap. I say, you can do that but first you have to take a nap. He says ok and does a nose dive onto my chest to pretend to sleep. Then he gets up and asks if he can do some activities. It is pretty entertaining. Tanya had a very difficult time getting Jonah down for a nap this afternoon. I showed her how easy it was, I was holding Jonah at the time and said, "Jonah it is time for night night." He nose dives onto my chest to go to sleep. It was great!!!!! We decided to have a box garden this year and grow: peas, beans, and beets. In pots we are going to try for tomatoes, squash, and zucchini.
