Race ya......

Cohen is going through a really stubborn, "I can do it" phase. He wants to do things how he wants to and when he wants to. It is REALLY annoying. REALLY. It is not so bad when I am not in a hurry, but hey, I am always in a hurry. Instead of always struggling to get him to do things when WE want him to(yes, we are stubborn too), we created a game. "Race ya!" It doesn't matter what is happening, if we say "race ya" we get our way. We play "race ya" to get him to bed, take off his clothes, get in the tub, buckle his seat, EVERYTHING is a game of "race ya." Heck, even yesterday I played "race ya" to get him to go to time out. Of course he didn't want to go, but as soon as he heard the words "I'll race ya" he ran straight to the corner! Magic!!!!
