Had a great day with Declan. He was in a good mood and we were having fun. I promise him we'd do something fun today so when he got up I announced we'd try a new park this morning. Now in the time between us discussing it and actually being ready to go Declan got out enough toys to cover the entire TV room. This was when I told Declan we could go to the park as soon as he put his toys away. He didn't want to. He told me to put them away myself. I simply stuck to my word, sat down on the couch and told him we could go once he'd cleaned up his toys.He is stubborn. Declan tried his usual tactic of crying. I didn't budge. That's when he stopped crying just enough to say "you could give me something to make me feel better" and he pointed at monkey.
He's smart. However...I got him his monkey and waited him out.
We went to the park about 30 minutes later.
