Any mother will tell you that creativity is key to getting your children to do what you want them to do. When getting Betsy into the car each morning, we have a race - I open Elliot's side of the car, she climbs in, walks to her side of the car and tries to get into her car seat before I am able to close the door, walk around the back of the car and open her door on the other side.
She's quick and I am prone to distraction so, as it would happen, she wins our race every day. One morning she was particularly proud of her speed and told me, "Mommy you're a slow poke and I'm a fast poke." Sounds about right.
