Paige







So yesterday we we told the kids that after dinner we would go swimming. We ate dinner and then told the kids to go get ready. Paige has decided that this year she doesn't like swimming or getting in the water and being the strong willed child that she is said she wasn't going. She refused to get her swim suit on and put it somewhere so we couldn't find it. We tried talking, bribing, nothing was working. Jason then told her if she didn't get her suit on she was going to stay home while the rest of us went. So she didn't get dressed and the family proceeded to get in the van. She stood at the door crying and waving to us. We needed to prove a point so we shut the garage and waited a few minutes (like we would really leave our 2 year old home alone!) and Jason snuck back inside. There she was on the couch sitting not even crying. He talked to her again and she still did not want her swimming suit on. She wanted to come and got in the car with her jammies on.


We got to the pool and she immediately started whining and said she wanted her swimming suit on, which we explained that she had her chance and she chose not to. Everyone was swimming and of course Paige got closer and closer to the water, and she ended up getting all wet and swimming with her pajamas on. What a Stinker....but a cute one!!

This is awesome! I love that you went through with the farce and she wasn't even crying! haha. This is the kind of story that you guys will talk about for the next 10 years. :)
