Tonight was a rough night for little Lucy. She had to learn one of her first tough life lessons. Lucy wouldn't listen at the dinner table, she refused to eat her dinner, threw her food and repeatedly banged her sippy cup on the table. We asked Lucy to stop and then warned her that she would lose her TV time for the night if she did it again - well she did! So, I had to break it to her that there would be no Curious George for the night. Lucy seemed fine with that.
After dinner we went upstairs for bath time which was uneventful. Following bath, Lucy mentioned going downstairs for George. I reminded her there would be no George tonight. She was so sad and kept saying "sorry mommy." She actually knew why she couldn't watch it, but was still in disbelief. She thought if she apologized it would be fine. When she realized it was a lost cause, she just broke down and cried. I felt so bad for her, but stood my ground. No George, but she still got her two bed time stories. Luckily Lucy girl has a new chance tomorrow to be successful - I know she will rise to the occasion!
