Winning, duh.
It was raining this morning. In every aspect of the word. It’s been kind of droopy all week, and in return those of us affected by the weather are also slightly droopy. Including the 5 year old boy I nanny for. I walked in this morning (through the rain) to hear him screaming about how he didn’t want me to be here and wasn’t going to let his mom out the door. Well good morning to you too! Usually we have a great relationship, but obviously today was going to be different. So I let him beat me at Chutes and Ladders, we made chocolate chip cookies from scratch and I let him eat WAY too much of the dough, 2 cookies, and also packed cookies in his lunch, and I chased him around the house playing hide and seek for much longer than I normally would. He left happy with a “Mary Elizabeth, I love you.”. Winning, duh.
