The Art Of War... or... Compromising With A Two Year Old

This morning I had to wake Cooper, so we could take the big kids to school. Some days he gets transported straight from his bed to his carseat, but today I wanted to dress him because we were going to go into the school. When I was getting ready to change his clothes before tossing him in the car with a cereal bar and sippy cup, he insisted that I wait... he didn't want to take his "Dat Man" (aka: Batman) PJs off. He loves those pajamas! When, he came down stairs and saw that Jack was going to school dressed like a soldier he was certain that he needed wear his Batman "costume" to school too. I conceded for the moment. When we got to the parking lot and it was time to go into the school, I convinced him that he needed to wear his "school clothes" if he wanted to "go to school" with Allie & Jack. (Going into the school building is a big treat for him!) He was reluctant, but he changed and walked proudly into the school... holding his Dat Man PJs the whole time.
